While some 13 million Americans are out of work these days, those still with jobs might have a strange new thing to worry about--getting a promotion can be bad for you, a new study suggests。
雖然大約有1300萬的美國人現在沒有工作，不過那些有工作的人現在可能要去擔心一件奇怪的事情：根據一項新的研究顯示，升職可能對你有害。
British researchers found that when people get promoted, they suffer on average about 10 percent more mental strain and are less likely to find the time to go to the doctor。
英國的研究人員發現，當人們獲得提升時，他們平均會增加10%的精神壓力，而且還往往找不出時間去看醫生。
"Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people think. Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion, and in a way that goes beyond merely a short-term change," said Chris Boyce of the University of Warwick. "There are no indications of any health improvements for promoted people other than reduced attendance at GP surgeries [i.e. doctors visits], which may itself be something to worry about rather than celebrate."
“在工作上獲得提升并不像很多人想的那么棒。我們的研究發現，經理的心理健康往往在提升之后下降，而且在某些方面，這不僅僅是個短期的變化。”Warwick大學的Chris Boyce說，“沒有任何一種跡象顯示在獲得提升之后，健康水平也會提高。唯一的變化是去看醫生的次數變少了，而這本身可能也是需要擔心而非慶祝的事情。”
