There’s little question that the workplace is where most people spend the majority of their time. Equally true is the fact that today’s workplace is often filled with stressful situations and sometimes complex relationships. It’s only natural that, periodically, conflicts arise.
Fortunately, most employee workplace disputes are generally little more than verbal exchanges, sometimes heated, between employees. They’re most commonly precipitated by a comment or conduct that one or the other finds offensive. Such conflicts rarely lead to anything more than hurt feelings and estrangement of the parties. Many times employers simply ignore such situations expecting that the employees will work it out.
