Good news: Most employees get along with bosses and co-workers

If employees really quit bosses rather than companies, here’s some good news for employers:
Most workers get along well with their supervisor. Two-thirds of employees describe their relationship as “very good,” according to a recent survey by staffing firm Accountemps. Another 22% said they have a “good” relationship with their manager.
That leaves just 6% who said things are fair, and 2% answering “poor.” (The rest of the respondents said they don’t have a boss.)
Similarly, 70% of employees said they have very good relationships with co-workers.
Both those factors are key for maintaining retention and productivity, especially in tough times.
