I ran across this little statistic in Computerworld that caught my eye (it's in one of the graphics at the bottom of the article):
50% - Percentage of employees who report missing time from work due to rude workplace behavior directed toward them
Excuse me? Half of all workers (I assume in the US) miss time from work because someone was rude to them?
I'm...speechless.
Okay, I'm not speechless anymore. But I am skeptical.
