If you are bogged down by sarcasm and bullying coming from your seniors at job, read on. According to the researchers, such rude behaviour is common at a politically-charged workplace and this incivility is fast spreading.

Experiencing such rude behaviour reduces employees' self-control and leads them to act in a similar uncivil manner, say Russell Johnson and colleagues from Michigan State University. "People who are recipients of incivility at work feel mentally fatigue." Thus the boss-employee relationship will turn bitter and it will also affect the work and hamper productivity. So it is of utmost importance that a polite and cordial relationship is maintained.
