Is Britain Europe’s job stress capital?

UK employees work longer hours than the rest of Europe and get less bank holidays. Do we place too much importance in our careers in this country and all end up stressed as a result? Do you feel pressured to work too hard? Share your thoughts.

    Since this goverment has been in power i have seen at work so many people sick through stress. Paper work and targets are at an all time high....for what reason? There is so much paper work i have to do and not one single person has looked at it in years, but we have to do it. Get rid of all the pc and targets and let us get back to the real work. Most of my week of 37 hours is taken up with paper work...i would say 20 hours of it...crazy.

    I have found that jealousy is ripe especially when i have managed to secure 3 jobs and have the stamina to do the work of 3 jobs .
    People don't want their colleagues to progress or even work for a good standard of living this is a very sad attitude.
    We work too many hours because we have too our pay is not enough to afford even basic luxuries.

    Do we work too many hours?
    Yes
