    Many office workers, especially young men, say they aren't happy with their jobs, mainly because of heavy pressure at the office, a recent survey suggests.

    More than 90 percent of the interviewees said that they haven't been happy for many years or were never happy after work, while only 9 percent said they are happy every day. The report also said that office workers in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Shenzhen are less happy than those in the other cities.

    About 55 percent of the interviewees, mostly men, said work is not a source of any happiness for them, but is just a way to make a living. Less than 10 percent of the white-collar workers said that their job brings them a sense of success.

    Alex Chen, from an IT company, said that a busy work schedule leaves him both physically and mentally exhausted every day. "Happiness will never come to me after a day of long office hours and undesirable working environment," he said.

    Chen is not alone. The survey suggested that more than 41 percent of people surveyed say they would be happier with less working hours and a relaxing lunch break in which they can take a nap, listen to music or go shopping.
