Over half of all workers are unhappy
with one or more aspects of their job, a new survey reveals.
The research, conducted by Alliance
& Leicester Business Banking, surveyed 1,100 Britons and also finds:
§
51 per
cent of private sector employees who are unhappy cite low pay as their biggest
grumble
§
28 per
cent of those dissatisfied are unhappy about long working hours
§
Younger
workers and women are the least satisfied with their pay.
§
20 per
cent of those unhappy at work say their working environment is a problem.
Gareth Williams, head of marketing
at Alliance & Leicester Business Banking, said: "Even though salaries
have been rising sharply over the past few years, levels of expectation have
been rising faster. Employers need to recognise that salary gripes are often a
reflection on other aspects of the job – such as long working hours or a lack
of tangible benefits."
