These are the most commonly said passive-aggressive phrases in the workplace
Many Americans have used social media to joke about how workplace communication comes off as passive-aggressive. That may explain why a new study found that 73% of Americans report experiencing passive aggression at work, and it’s not a rare occurrence.
Preply recently surveyed 1,200 people to learn more about their experience with passive-aggressive communications and behaviors while at work.
Findings:
- 73% experience passive aggression at work, with 52% experiencing it weekly.
- 52% admit to being passive-aggressive at work.
- The root of the problem could be that 39% don’t feel free to directly express their feelings while at work.
- 38% actually feel their workplace incentivizes passive-aggressive communication.
