Britain's workers have come joint second in a league table of worldwide workplace WHINGERS, according to a major new report published today (Monday May 14).
The table, which features in a new study comparing work attitudes in 23 countries across the globe, puts the UK equal second, alongside Sweden, in overall `whinginess' rank, with France in the top spot. The three countries with the least amount of work whinging are The Netherlands, Thailand and - and the least whingy - Ireland.
The findings appear in the report `What Workers Want: A Worldwide Study $of Attitudes to Work and Work-Life Balance', by FDS International, and is the result of major research involving nearly 14,000 employees in 23 countries across the world.
The Work Whinging findings are based on a number of factors, including percentage of workers unhappy with pay, actual income relative to cost of living, percentage of workers who feel work impinges on private life, and average weekly working hours.
