#2> Ninety percent of doctor visits are stress related, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The #1 cause of stress is coworker complaining, according to polls. Fact: Positive workplaces have less sick people.
That ... does not sound accurate. Links to citations would be better than links to posters.

"Sure, you're working 80 hours a week, but you should be grateful that you're employed, even with a three hour commute!"

This commonly cited statistic appears to have originated from this USA Today article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-03-21-stress_x.htm
As far as I can tell it's completely fabricated, because there's nothing on the CDC website that backs it up at all.

#9Negativity costs the US between $250 and $300 billion every year in lost productivity, according to the Gallup Organization.
This sort of pseudo-scientific corporate speak makes my BS detector go on high-alert. Your point is better made without relying on PR friendly made up statistics.
