Infographic: Are your colleagues happy at work?
Your co-workers might complain, but they probably appreciate their job more than they let on.

A mere 9.8 percent copped to loathing their current occupation, and 36.9 percent of respondents expressed Switzerland-style “neutral” feelings toward their work.
The survey found that younger workers (18-34) feel more negative about their jobs. Those older than 35 were much more sanguine about work.
