Are they whingeing again, or just brutally honest?

From one of the best time-wasters ever, ananova.com:

Brits hate workmates
Nearly one in three Brits quit their jobs because they can't stand their workmates, according to a new survey.

More than 40% dislike at least one colleague, 20% hate the boss and one in 10 can't stand the person they sit next to.

And more than 23% of 2,500 Brits quizzed hate their "desk buddy" so much they find an excuse to move seats.

The poll, by recruitment site www.jobs2view.com, lists the main reasons for not liking colleagues as "laziness, talking too much and cliques".

It found that 27% think of quitting every day, and that just 24% find work important to them.
