A new survey of female office workers has revealed that Brits are keener than ever on workplace romance.
A remarkable 61% of all relationships now start in the office. 94% of those polled said they flirted at work, more than half have slept with a colleague, although out of those who got busy with their boss, some 63% said it hadn't benefitted their career.
Have you ever been involved with a co-worker? Have you been caught in a compromising position in the stationary cupboard? Do you know someone whose career was either boosted or ruined by a romantic liason, or do you just think that looking for true love in the office is plain sad? Share all your views here.
I think that workplace romances are ok. I find its ok when both parties are not involved with anyone else and it may just be fun for both coworkers.
Workplace romance is not to be taken advantage of, in other words do not use roamnce at ur workplace to have a man or woman around ur finger or to get a rasie in salary or a higher position at work. Workplace romance should be a romance, there is nothing nasty in romance so dont make a workplace romance be worthless and reflect badly on either party.
If u are thinking of starting a work place romance with ur secret crush do it for the right reasons and under the right circumstances. U might just find ur real love and I know u dont wanna loose out on that cuz not much people are priviledge enough to find real, unconditional love that is not based on Sex.
guy gorilla from glasgow says:
my wife has worked in a number of offices over the last +12 years and has struck up flirtatous friendships with married male collegues on the prowl in different indirect depts. on a number of occassions these have escalated far beyond reasonable office banter, with texting at all hours of the day and night, weekends and even when on holiday abroad and un-necessary "JIT work meetings" at odd hours after the normal 9 to 5. all dressed up as necessary work calls. even to the point of 1 employer making an unsubstantiated warning allegation at her of "inapproriate activity in the work place" which she denied strongly and laughted off as vicious gossip and just an ego boost.
these might strike some as just harmless work "fun" to get through the hours but it has had a terrible effect on our children, families and trust is very thin. she has admitted that her conduct has caused unnecessary trouble over the years making the future uncertain.
my view of the future is quite simple wait until the children are old enough and then i'm off, goodbye and good ridence to her and i've been seeing some casual younger better looking girlfriends over the last 2 year, better late than never
Guy the Gorilla... you're just as bad as she is.... you are using your younger casual so called better looking girlfriends.... and what sort of environment are you creating and what sort of message are you giving to your kids.
If you think that your wife's behaviour is unreasonable and that there is no way you 2 can sort it out... GET OUT.. YOU IN COWARD
You are using your wife's behaviour and the kids as an excuse to stay.. once the kids are old enough.. ffs!!
Get a life, get some balls and get some guts.
Work out what you want ... if you want to make the marriage work, work at it, if you dont want it... GET OUT...
Nope, unless it's out of work hours!! and waitresses, seceretaries, Personal Assistants, watch out for those persistent bosses who are more interested in you than your table serving manners and shorthand...If the wife/husband finds out you'll be the one out of a job...Trust me.
Office romances are bad news. I work in an environment where certain women will use sex to get on. They cause more problems than they solve.
I think office romances are ok as long as you seperate the two.Your work comes first and if you are a professional there should be no problem.Just about everybody flirts at work but as long as it's harmless fun then no one gets hurt.
