'Nearly everyone has a story about someone at work who has been rude. Perhaps it was the boss who sent a snippy e-mail or the co-worker who made snarky comments, but workplace civility often seems to have gone the way of the typewriter.

A 2011 study found that workplace rudeness caused 48% of workers to deliberately slack off and even affected their interactions with customers.
