Nearly Half Of U.S. Workers Not Happy
Inc:
Employees complain of being publicly criticized, interrupted, teased, and ignored, according to a new survey.
More than 44 percent of 534 U.S. workers surveyed feel that their bosses bully them on the job, according to the Employment Law Alliance, a San Francisco-based network of employment and labor attorneys. The survey also found that 64% of workers feel they should have the right to sue if bullied.
“I am somewhat surprised,” said Stephen Hirschfield, CEO of the Employment Law Alliance. “It’s a new issue and I did not know how pervasive it was.”
Bullying bosses are those who publicly criticize, rudely interrupt, tease, give dirty looks, use sarcastic jabs, or flat out ignore certain employees, according to the survey’s respondents.
Hirschfield said he was also surprised at how many workers would consider litigation, adding that he does not feel courts should be addressing the problem, because such cases would put “the jury in a situation where they have to Monday-morning quarterback.”
