Work rage affects 70% of workers, says survey

THE workplace is getting more hot-tempered with the majority of workers experiencing regular verbal abuse, according to a survey published yesterday.

The poll found that so-called work rage was affecting seven out of every 10 employees with almost the same number reporting regular roaring and shouting at work.

Mental Health Ireland said it would be concerned for the well-being of workers who are continually on the receiving end of co-workers and bosses losing their temper.
