Sir, – A new ESRI study identified that 17 per cent of Irish workers experience either an emotional or time-pressure stress at work ("Workers more likely to be stressed by emotional demands and bullying", News, November 27th).
In April this year, the HSE published The Untold Story: Harms Experienced in the Irish Population Due to Others (Hope, Barry & Byrne, 2018), which identified that one in seven Irish workers reported harm due to co-workers drinking.
Might the negative effects of this also be the source of stress to many in the workplace? – Yours, etc,
