Does your desk make you sick? - Health24.com, South Africa

New syndrome emerging
But apart from boredom and a hankering to chuck in the job and sell CDs at a fleamarket for a living, there’s a new syndrome emerging in office drones. So far it’s only been identified at one corporation, NEC-Mitsubishi, but given that the working conditions are similar for millions around the world, it gets you wondering how widespread it is.
