A tongue-in-cheek but equally startling chart, the 'Is Your Bad Boss Killing You?' infographic is an amazingly detailed look into the way management can affect one's medical health.
Detailing the various main profiles of "bad" bosses, the chart is a funny approach to what can be a not-so-funny issue. From micromanagers to timid higher-ups, many people can identify with at least one of the situations described in the chart. Detailing the impact of a negative and stressful work life in terms of health, relationships and even cost, the stats included on the infographic are surprisingly important considering the comedic tone used to portray the data. Some well-known as well as some lesser known facts are included, as well as solutions to the suggested issues, making this a worthwhile read.
Whether a reader has a happy work life or can strongly identify with the graph, this is a clever and unfortunately necessary reminder that worker's may need to take action to cultivate a healthier 9-to-5.
