HSBC | Manager pens viral post about pandemic overwork after heart attack

An HSBC contractor has written a viral post about overworking following a heart attack.

Jonathan Frostick wrote in a LinkedIn post that he started to prepare for a new working week on a Sunday evening when his chest started to feel tight.

Recalling this on LinkedIn, Frostick wrote: “I sat down at my desk at 4pm to prep for this week’s work. And then I couldn’t really breathe. My chest felt constrained, I had what I can only describe as surges in my left arm, my neck, my ears were popping.” 

He went on to explain that his first thought was: “F*** I needed to meet with my manager tomorrow, this isn’t convenient.”
