Leading article: Let it all out
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.All is quiet across the fertile office plains. Workers sup at the water cooler. Others graze at their keyboards. Then suddenly a piercing shriek breaks the tranquility, causing the wildlife to raise their heads in surprise. What's going on? Someone's shouting at the boss. Don't they know that this is no time to get on the wrong side of management? Do they have a death wish? Well it seems the shouters are the sensible ones. Swedish researchers have discovered that getting angry with your boss can be good for your heart.
Those who suffer in silence at the hands of unreasonable or vindictive management are at higher risk of dying of a heart attack than those who, from time to time, blow their top with their superiors. It stands to reason, of course. Internalising all that frustration cannot be healthy.
But now shouting at work has a scientific justification, aren't things in danger of getting a bit noisy in the office? We say: invest in some ear muffs. After all, safety must come first.
