Human Resources: Middle managers are grumpy middle aged men

A survey by UK training company PTP Training & Marketing, reveals that middle management are seen as difficult, self-important middle-aged men who lack communication skills are not team players.

Men aged between 35 and 45 working at a mid management or admin levels are most likely to be viewed by colleagues as "difficult."

I realise that such surveys do have their place, but the Mr and Ms. Inbetweenies, have traditionally been the most difficult to work with or motivate.

In too many cases, they are the corporate equivalent of those who believe that padded cocktail bars and pictures of Spanish Women on their walls, somehow give them added status.

If anyone wants to complain about this article - for heavens sake - can't you see I'm busy!
