Big boozers stressing out work colleagues
Heavy drinkers are forcing their colleagues to work longer and harder which is costing the Australian economy over $400 million each year.
In a new research, published in the Medical Journal of Australia, is has been found that about one third of workers have experienced negative effects from their co-workers’ drinking of alcohol.
About 59 of the 1,677or 3.5 per cent workers sampled for the study reported having to work extra hours to cover for others.
These employees were forced to work, on average, an additional week each year to cover for their boozing colleagues, costing the Australian economy $453 million.
