Survey: Many Workers Suffer Abusive Boss

Reported offenses included silent treatment (31 percent), badmouthing (27 percent), invasions of privacy (24 percent) and using employees as scapegoats (23 percent).

Overall, workers were more likely to leave a job due to bad bosses than poor pay, the survey showed.
