Believe behind screens and stagnation, we forgot how the office was really. Now, thanks to the delegations of returning to the office, many workers are re -identified with a lower part of the nostalgia of office life: Backstabbing.

As for those who do dirty work? While any generation does not blame, Gen Z and Millennials are likely to be seen as withdrawing these moves, compared to prosperity and General X.

Most American workers who were surveyed, who are more than 1,000 years old, said that their peers are responsible for sabotaging their success.
