Workplace civility: We want to hear your workplace horror stories

Nearly one in five workers in the U.S. find the workplace stressful, hostile or even abusive, according to a new study.

Nearly 55 percent of workers say they’ve faced “unpleasant or potentially hazardous” conditions at work, according to a new study by the Rand Corp., Harvard Medical School and the University of California, Los Angeles. The study of more than 3,000 workers in the U.S. found that many workers feel they’ve faced sexual harassment, bullying and hostile environments in the workforce.

Only about 38 percent of people say their jobs offer opportunities for advancement, and older employees become less optimistic about job advancement. Half of the workers in the study say they work in their off time to meet the demands of their position.
