Is workplace BULLYING a bigger problem than it used to be?

Someone polled 1,000 people who have a job, but are looking for a new one.  22% said people at work seem meaner than they were a year ago.  And 62% think companies should put up signs reminding people to be nice to each other.

Here are five of the most common toxic workplace behaviors in 2025 . . .

1.  Gossiping.  45% have seen it happen in the past year.

2.  Unprofessional communication, 37%.

3.  Taking steps to avoid working with certain people, 28%.

4.  Excluding coworkers in other ways, 26%.

5.  Taking credit for other people’s work, 24%.

Bosses were also polled.  Half agreed employee behavior does seem to be trending down.
