Broken computers, too much work, demanding clients and annoying colleagues are the main causes of stress in the office, with middle managers suffering the most.
These are the finding in a new report.
A survey of 2,000 adults found that more than a quarter of middle managers are regularly stressed out, compared with just one in five managing directors and junior staff.
Workers in the north are under more pressure than those in the south east, the study on behalf of Extra chewing gum found.
Other problems which trigger stress include commuting to work, having to make presentations, long queues at lunchtime, and constant phone calls.
One in three workers said they are annoyed by the habits of their colleagues, including those who talk too loudly.
