Some people can handle a lot at work, but it could be killing them.
A 20-year survey looked at toxic work environments and your health.
The University of Tel Aviv studied 820 people and over the course of the study, 53 died, the majority of which reported having a hostile work environment.
Having more responsibility added to the stress level of women being studied, further straining their work life balance.
Those workers had a 70 per cent increased risk of death.
