Hello. I've come to realize two things. One; I'm not very good with the application of stats. I'd like to get better with that, but any help tossed my way can broaden my understanding and make me better. Two; I'm making an awful lot of new issues. If this isn't cool please tell me and I'll stop for a while. Thanks.
A recent survey shows that the incredibly competitive environment of corporate life in @@NAME@@ is causing business employees to become greatly stressed, anxious and unhappy. Many people are concerned about the price they'll pay to have a good corporate position.
Validity: Nations with high corporate power.

[option]"I can't believe people are concerned about this," says megacorporate CEO @@RANDOMNAME@@. "If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. And if you try but can't cut it, someone will replace you who can. These people practically kill themselves to get the jobs, and then turn around and say the job's killing them. I trust my point is obvious. Now let me be, I have 28 meetings to make before lunch..."

[option]"I can't take it!" sobs @@RANDOMNAME@@, president of @@NAME@@ Banking Trusts. "We're too overcompetitive! Sure we're bringing in the @@CURRENCY@@s, but at what cost?! No one will want a corporate position if this is what they must endure. And if only the strong survive what sort of business opportunities will there be for the majority? All we need is some government-sponsored relaxation areas at work so we can depressurize when we need to. And could you hand me that noose over there? Thanks."

[option]"There's an old saying," begins retired megacorporate CEO @@RANDOMNAME@@. "And every good businessman should know it. It's 'Buyer Beware.' Don't work for a company that doesn't offer satisfactory health benefits. What's that? None of them do offer those anymore? Well in that case make a mandate for a regulated level of stress-relief facilities available to all employees out of the employers' pockets. No problem."

Of course they'll eventually break under the strain, they're only human, no matter how savvy they are at business. The solution is more employees. Make a law to regulate the number of tasks and responsibility each person has. The average amount of pay might drop pretty sharply, but workplace stress will be diminished. And, technically, much more jobs will be created."
