Staff will sell their grandmothers for promotion

Employees
are prepared to conduct character assassinations of their colleagues to get ahead,
according to research by PlanetRecruit.com.

A
disturbing 68 per cent of men and 38 per cent of women were prepared to rat on
colleagues to climb the career ladder.

And
seven out of ten men were quite prepared to take credit for someone else’s
work, compared to only a third of women.

More
than 450 people who were looking for jobs online took part in the anonymous
survey.
