Alienated Labour

Almost three-quarters of people are unhappy in their jobs and a quarter have experienced workplace bullying, according to research.

The survey also found that 40% of respondents have suffered from severe stress due to work pressure and 13% had taken an enforced pay cut.

Sales employees are the least satisfied workers, with 34% of respondents in this field saying that they were very unhappy in their job.

Isabelle Ratinaud, Monster.co.uk spokesperson, said: "It's really quite concerning to see how unhappy people are in their jobs, and how scared they are to change their situation. When employees feel despondent and trapped in their roles it's not surprising, but still very upsetting, to see that workplace bullying and overall lack of respect for colleagues is so common."
