In my last 6 years working as a contractor there was zero social support at work. My social support now that I'm retired is terrific. I have no plans to get a chronic disease, that's what resveratrol in red wine and all my walking will do for me. I think my cognitive function is still pretty damn good, sarcasm still works.

Psychosocial working conditions, trajectories of disability, and the mediating role of cognitive decline and chronic diseases: A population-based cohort study
PLoS Medicine — Pan KY, Xu W, Mangialasche F, et al. | September 20, 2019
In this study, researchers examined
the association between job demand–control–support combinations and
trajectories of disability in later life. In addition, they explored the
role of cognitive decline and the co-occurrence of chronic diseases in
mediating this association. They examined a cohort of 2,937 individuals
aged 60 years and older for the association of psychosocial working
conditions with the rate of disability progression over 12 years. In
all, they noted a link between unfavorable psychosocial working
conditions during working life and the progression of disability in
later life. This association, they found, was partially related to the
decrement in cognitive function and increase in chronic-disease burden,
and especially the former. Findings emphasized the significance of
social support at work in a high-strain work environment, given its
capacity to attenuate the impact of high-strain jobs on disability
accumulation.
