Or is it ineffective and sometimes callous managers or a lack of leadership? Maybe it's due to people draining energy through complaining and gossip. Or could it be as simple as traffic, travel time to and from the office, and inadequate pay? All of these bring about stress. But do the events create the stress or is it a reaction to these events?
