CareerBuilder has released a new study finding that the number of workers who feel bullied at the office is on the rise. What’s more, a majority of employees who said they reported the bullying to their human resources department claimed nothing was done.

CareerBuilder says that 35% of employees feel like they’ve been bullied at work, up from 27% in 2011. Of those who feel victimized, 17% decided to quit their jobs to get away from the hostile environment and 16% reported suffering health-related problems as a result of the bullying.
