Rows over annual leave turn offices into “rats nests of resentment”

Arguments over annual leave are turning offices into “rats nests of resentment and pent up anger”, according to a new study by law firm Stephensons.

The report surveyed 2000 employees, asking their thoughts on colleagues using their allotted paid leave. The findings show that a staggering one fifth of those asked resented their fellow workers for booking on dates that they themselves wanted to use, which in turn led to bitterness and aggravation in the office.
