Employee stress takes toll on company's bottom line

http://www.eagletribune.com/pubiz/local_story_279005555.html
including this, and other comments from the good doctor:

Workers under stress are less efficient and less healthy than more contented employees, and that's bad for the bottom line..

hmm

(and here, a truncated version: http://www.pe.com/business/local/stories/PE_Biz_D_office_stress29.677fe0.html)

the article appears in a number of publications.
stress is stress, the good doctor says.

(reminding some people of the Simpsons episode when Maggie and her peers are trying to make a break out of the Ayn Rand School for Tots where A is A and Helping is Futile).

and this :

Marge: Maggie is allergic to strained pears, and she likes a bottle of warm milk before nap time.
Ms. Sinclair: A bottle? Mrs. Simpson, do you know what a baby is saying when she reaches for a bottle?
Marge: Ba Ba?
Ms.Sinclair: She is saying, "I am a leach!" Our aim here is to develop the bottle within.
