8:52Now PlayingWhat are work martyrs? Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Despite popular belief that millennials are entitled and lazy, research actually suggests that millennials are work martyrs. A work martyr is defined by Project: Time Off, as a person who believes it is more important to work long hours over true productivity. The work martyr often won’t take breaks or use vacation time out of fear he or she may be seen as replaceable or undedicated to the job. Project: Time Off’s surveyfound that roughly 40% of employees desired to be seen as a work martyr by their employer, however, 86% of employees surveyed, believed it was a bad thing to be seen as a work martyr by their families.
How can an employee achieve work-life balance if he or she is attempting to be so much to so many people? According to Project: Time Off’s survey, it comes at a high price. Work martyrs are actually more likely to earn less and receive fewer bonuses. Work martyrs are also more likely to put pressure on themselves, have a misplaced sense of pride, and feel unsupported at work. However, the greatest consequence of work martyrdom lies in stress levels, both at the office and at home. Work martyrs are 13% more likely to feel stress in their work/life compared to more balanced employees, and 20% more likely to feel stress at home.”*
