occupational hazards
Job-related risks
Occupational hazards are dangers or risks inherent to a particular job or profession.
Coal miners face black lung; office workers develop repetitive strain injuries.
The phrase extends figuratively to any predictable downside of a role or situation: Dealing with angry customers is an occupational hazard of retail work.
Criticism comes with the territory—it's an occupational hazard for public figures.
