Everyone experiences stress at work, but how we cope with it varies. Feeling that you’ve been unfairly treated can be particularly stressful. Researchers believe that failure to express feelings about unfair treatment at work could have serious consequences on your health, especially men, who bottle up their anger at being unfairly treated at work, are up to 5 times more likely to suffer a heart attack, or even die from one, than those who let their frustration （沮丧） show, a Swedish study has found.

The study by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University followed 2,755 employed men who had not suffered any heart attacks. At the end of the study, 47 participants had either suffered an attack, or died from heart disease, and many of those had been found to be covertly coping with unfair treatment at work.

“After adjustment for age, socioeconomic factors, risk behaviors, job strain and biological risk factors at baseline, there was a close-response relationship between covert coping and the risk of incident death,” the study’s authors wrote.

Covert coping was listed as “letting thing pass without saying anything” and “going away” despite feelings of being hard done by colleagues or bosses. Men who often used these coping techniques had a two to five times higher risk of developing heart disease than those who were more confrontational (对抗性的) at work, the study showed.

The researchers said they could not answer the question of what might be a particularly healthy coping strategy at work, but listed open coping behavior when experiencing unfair treatment or facing a conflict as “protesting directly,” “talking to the person right away,” “yelling at the person right away” or “speaking to the person later when things have calmed down.” The study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

　　Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer(零售商)．It's the world's largest company, which sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year．

　　Wal-Mart exercises its power for just one purpose：to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers．At Wal-Mart, that goal is never reached．The retailer has a clear policy for suppliers：On basic products that don't change, the price Wal-Mart will pay, and will charge shoppers, must drop year after year．But what almost no one outside the world of Wal-Mart and none of its 21,000 suppliers know is the high cost of those low prices．To survive in the face of its pricing demands, makers of everything from bikes to jeans have had to close US plants in favor of obtaining products from abroad．

　　Indeed, the real story of Wal-Mart, the story that never gets told, is the story of the pressure the biggest retailer constantly applies to its suppliers in the name of bringing us“every day low prices”．

　　People ask,“How can it be bad for things to come into the US cheaply?”Sure, it's great to have bargains．But you can't buy anything if you're not employed．

　　There is no question that Wal-Mart's drive to squeeze out cost has benefited consumers．By now, it is accepted wisdom that Wal-Mart makes the companies it does business with more efficient and focused．Wal-Mart itself is known for continuous, improvement in its ability to handle, move, and track goods．It is legendary(传奇)for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems．It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods．
