10 Ways Your Job Is Killing You

By Daniel Bukszpan, CNBC.com

Employees who call in sick normally get most of the blame for lost productivity, but a phenomenon known as "presenteeism" has been gaining notice, as well. Defined as the act of coming in to work when you're sick and doing a third-rate job as a result, presenteeism costs businesses billions of dollars a year in lost productivity.

When the illness is a byproduct of the workplace itself, however, that worker will just get sick again and keep doing a listless and unproductive job.
