One group of people that are suffering more than most are managers, those who’re in charge of an office or group of people and are responsible for that. Due to company restructuring and forced redundancies it’s been harder and harder for this group to cope with the additional work load. In one case they may well be working to learn the additional systems for the new structure and in the other they may be forced to take on extra work as they simply don’t have the size of workforce they used to. This leads to overtime for which they never get paid.
All these excess hours amount to somewhere in the region of 46 unpaid days worked a year which is insane. This obviously increases the strain on managers who get stressed and depressed while trying to juggle all of the new demands they’re being forced to deal with. Companies simply cannot afford to employ the same number of people as they once would have.

We’ve got a great range of guides and articles dedicated to stress and each will help you to handle these conditions as best you can.
