Work Rage -- Becoming More Pervasive

"As the corporate world slims down, speeds up,
and grows more uncertain, workers are getting
mad !  Resentment usually surfaces in the
traditional form of griping.  But increasingly,
it is playing itself out in a darker fashion ---
sabotage.  As company mergers and downsizing
have become commonplace and job security
rare, instances of employee sabotage have
multiplied."

"Sabotage in the workplace is an increasingly
common occurrence that can range from the
simple to the complex.  It can be as simple as the
angry employee who uses his car key to scrape
paint off a row of cars in the company parking
lot, or as complex as the computer technician
who plants a virus in the company's system as
a final act before taking a new job."

"A lot of managers believe that employee
sabotage won't happen to them."

In a survey of security professionals, 89% said
that their biggest concern was retaliation from
disgruntled employees.
