A quarter of British office staff hate their workmates — and a third have quit to escape them, a survey reveals.
Nearly three-quarters often gossip about colleagues, and after work a third refuse to socialise.
More than one in ten has sneaky email or text chats about colleagues.
And a fifth say the boss is the main cause of workplace tension, said the poll of 2,000 adults for stationers Partners.
The company’s Lisa Bond said: “The findings are quite shocking when you bear in mind we spend the majority of our week at work.”
The poll also revealed 11 types of despised office characters including The Brown Noser, The Blagger, The Clock Watcher and The Lech.
