but it may not count since I was the boss. And she was my wife rather than a co-worker.
And it was on a weekend when nobody else was there and I was just taking care of other business without interruptions from the warehouse.

(16,191 posts)Boss was an old perv who had been grab happy and trying to get under her skirt for a year, had been calling her "frigid" for refusing his advances, and she was sick of it. He was out of the office for the day, she was his assistant and had his office key, and she'd just been offered a new job elsewhere and was on her way out the door anyway.
She was a fun one, but her next job took her halfway across the country and we quickly lost track of each other. That's life!
That's awesome. Sounds like the bastard had it coming.

It's part of my charm.

(3,523 posts)Have I recently had sex with a co-worker? No, I've been in a committed relationship for 20 years.
Have I ever had sex with a co-worker? Hell yes.
Put just about any group of people together for several hours a day and relationships will develop. Make it a group of young single people and someone will inevitably hookup.
I'm definitely out of the loop.
Never had sex with a coworker.
Or a boss.
Not that I haven't had crushes, but that's as far as they went.

(6,279 posts)It was not a scientific survey - the respondents were whoever felt like filling out a survey after reading a Business Insider article. So the results come from a skewed population of people interested in titillating articles about workplace sex.
A true random sampling would likely tell a very different story...
