i just linked this quote to several people too. the next quote that really hit home was this one:
"Over all, the results showed that about 21 percent of lawyers qualify as problem drinkers, while 28 percent struggle with mild or more serious depression and 19 percent struggle with anxiety."
Because the percentages seem comparable in tech for engineers.
- bobowzki 9y agoI wonder how this compares to physicians?
- watwut 9y agoDo you have source for three tech claim? People around me don't seem to be that depressed nor alcoholic, but I don't work in SV.
- Falling3 9y agoDepression is really not something you can necessarily glean from being around people, especially in an office environment. I imagine the same is largely true for alcoholism as well.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI am always surprised how we are managing to make the workplace less and less healthy to the point that of causing severe health issues. Most people know this but it seems to be impossible to stop this trend. Especially lawyers, doctors and lot of tech people make good money and could afford to work less but instead kill themselves.
