You come first. Money and everything else next. There is no reason why stress should kill. There is suggestion that if your job is too much stressing, quit.

Is it also not employer's duty to see that no employee is put to stress too much. An employee also needs maintenance and rest similar to a machine.

Employee should always take care not to stress too much. Stresses life can create lot of health problems too(Not only the heart). Stress is one thing responsible for baldness too.
Employer should also take care of his employees as you have mentioned.
But this is really difficult. Due to increasing inflation and job risk is increasing stress day by day which impacts both personal and professional life... Although not impossible but its very difficult...

Very less number of employers like Wipro and Google care about their employee's welfare. They are the people who see immense resources in Humans. Others are selfish and see the employees as slaves never bothering about their problems, work pressure and troubles.

Yes its good to hear, " Healthy enviornment at working place is precondition for health and productive working". But how many are implementing this precondition?

Very rare to see a healthy environment at working place. But implementation of healthy working place should be made compulsory.

That;s a far cry,in the present circumstances vested interested are ruling the roost in the trade union and Industrial spheres.
You are correct and if you cannot quit the job immediately then find the other job first then quit it
That's right one should not risk his/her health to work at a place where there is lots of stress. No doubt there won't be a work place where there would be no stress but the degree may vary so one should try not to take much stress or try to change a job as early as possible as no employer would care for it. :evil:
Inspite of having a higher standard of living we see many more cases of life style related diseases like Diabetes in youngsters these days which is mainly due to faulty food habit and no exercise.Most software units come with a gym,library,music room etc these days so that the employees use their time wisely and remain fit, but it is not being used properly and according to many physicians it is this group, where most of these ailments are found..

Physical exercise really reduces lot of ailments. Physical inactivity leads to obesity which is responsible for a huge percentage of morbidity and mortality.

Yes these days most of the software companies do that but small industries still don't do anything for employee welfare they just want to take work from them they hardly bother what mental stress their employees go through while working for them. :evil:

I am working for a BPO which needs me to work in various shifts. Since I love the project which I am involved, I do not have any problem.

Job stress has come to be diagnosed as a universal problem these days. Employers are setting exacting standards overlooking individual capacities to meet them which has been creating a vicious circle of resultant frustration and under-performance. Time, indeed, has come to look at this problem with greater empathy and feelings!
Job stress is actually not killing people. It is the responsibility which kills them internally. The pressure becomes more when there is inflation and salary is less.
Job stress makes people think about their career, promoton and competition for a while. People must learn to make their mind mature.

I feel that our health and managing our work and career is largely dependent on the individual. There are deadlines and commitments, but there are also ways to overcome stress levels which should be made use of .....Just think of the top industrialists and other high level officials who have much more responsibility and stress levels...

I don't know where you got this bit from, but job stress has been officially recognized as being far more damaging and a major cause for fatal heart attacks in people as young as early 30s and 40s! There is no relation of job stress to salary! Huge salaries do not make the job stress any less fatal or damaging as lesser salary does!
I also feel that the employer should work like the head of the family and try to understand the problems of the employee. If he is understanding toward the people, they too would increase their output.
