- sjbdallas, on 02/06/2008, -1/+89I used to have a girlfriend where I worked. Trouble was, increasing your productivity when you work at McDonalds isn't all that valuable.
- inactive, on 02/06/2008, -3/+82This is from The Sun, which is a newspaper so well regarded for its journalistic integrity, that it prints pictures of topless women on the third page.
In other words, it's *****. Buried. - morningmatters, on 02/06/2008, -0/+62This makes sense as people tend to work harder when they are trying to impress the opposite sex. On the other hand, falling out of an office relationship is probably the worst since people are forced to see each other daily.
- Spero, on 02/06/2008, -1/+56Sure, until you get slapped with a sexual harassment suit and fired.
- dupswapdrop, on 02/06/2008, -0/+47Bad bad idea!
- DeskFlyer, on 02/06/2008, -0/+43It also improves the chance of both of you getting fired.
- sjbdallas, on 02/06/2008, -1/+37or "come at work"
- xy666, on 02/06/2008, -1/+36i heard its exactly opposite ;)
- znicket, on 02/06/2008, -1/+33... and then you break up and work becomes utter hell.
- SEMaven, on 02/06/2008, -2/+30My work must be outstanding since I work with my husband.
- inactive, on 02/06/2008, -1/+26What the research doesn't note is that it's the sex in the office supply room that is providing that much-needed energy.
- tidu, on 02/06/2008, -0/+23We all need a Pam.
- dafragsta, on 02/06/2008, -0/+21I work in a sausage factory. I guess I'll never know.
- KanosWRX, on 02/06/2008, -1/+22WRONG. I think most would agree this is a horrible idea.
- huxrules, on 02/06/2008, -1/+21Newsflash- chasing tail makes men more productive.
- jphicks, on 02/06/2008, -2/+21When you have a "love" at work, I guess you just "love" to come to work.
- ontain, on 02/06/2008, -3/+19Clearly Bill Clinton was doing it for the good of the country ;)
- uptown, on 02/06/2008, -2/+14I've had five of them .... never again. Hey, she's cute....
- inactive, on 02/06/2008, -0/+12I've found the opposite. It's hard to find a woman at my work that is attractive/tolerable/not old enough to be my mom, so I find that I'm more willing to stay in my cubicle and get stuff done... But, who am I to argue with sleazy British tabloid research?
- norman619, on 02/06/2008, -0/+12Until it falls apart. That is when this article falls apart. I have seen first had the ugly aftermath of these workplace relationships. I even lived through it once. Once was all I needed to learn what stupidity it is to hook up with someone you work with. A couple of my buddies needed to go through it twice before they learned their lesson.
- TheHim, on 02/06/2008, -2/+13When has digg become a frickin boulevard e-zine. Well, that's democracy, the people vote for this, so i'll have to accept it.
- derrikirred, on 02/06/2008, -4/+14I dated a lady I met at a job. Sure we were both fired (inappropriate email correspondence!), but we have been married for 5 years now and have a child with another on the way.
- megaton, on 02/06/2008, -1/+11Not to mention that the "researcher" came to this conclusion through a SURVEY.
"Uhm...yeah! My work definitely improves when I lay on the couch getting blowjobs all day!" - Spetz, on 02/06/2008, -2/+12More quality journalism from The Sun. :/
- fluidfoundation, on 02/06/2008, -1/+11What if you just wank in the bathroom during lunch?
- mike23w, on 02/06/2008, -3/+13"Nearly twice as many women as men admitted to having a fling in the workplace, Dr Salomoni added. One in three owned up to having a relationship with a superior to enhance their career. "
Note to self: Hire hot chick to work under me (literally and figuratively). - gllopc, on 02/06/2008, -0/+7That's called marriage.
- norman619, on 02/06/2008, -0/+7You heard right. This article is 100% BS. They don't think about what happens after the relationship falls apart. At my last place of employment people were fired due to the disruption the failed relationship brought to the workplace.
- entrophize, on 02/06/2008, -0/+7Office romances are like amputations.
Even if you don't like what happened, you have to live with it every day. - VeryBoredNow, on 02/06/2008, -0/+5Unless you're a construction worker.
- inactive, on 02/06/2008, -1/+6more british tabloid drivel spamming digg.
dailymail...the sun...
wtf...next we'll be having blog postings about amy winehouse spamming the front page. - Jb611, on 02/06/2008, -0/+5I'm gonna need some links to these alleged pages to make sure its true.
- JavertHolmes, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4Is this article a non-interactive Turing test? It feels like it was spat out by some template generator.
- raynar, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4What if you're in the army?
- SACubeMonkey, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4Why do I feel like digg is becoming a one stop shop for all of our tabloid needs?
- ivandir, on 02/06/2008, -0/+4Awww Dugg for honesty.
- Jb611, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3wtf?
- LogicBomB, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3As someone who spent a year at McDonalds all I can say is that when someone goes to work willing to work their ass off it makes the job a LOT more tolerable.
When you get people who come in and goof off all day you just want to kill yourself. - CoolWind, on 02/06/2008, -1/+4"HAVING an office romance IMPROVES your quality of work." No doubt. It's the breakup that wreaks havoc.
- ukblacknight, on 02/06/2008, -1/+4When you try to make a joke, be sure to keep it quick and witty... wait... infact just don't even bother next time!
- tugger, on 02/06/2008, -0/+3..or she stops taking the medication and goes freaky on you. Scratches your car up in the car park, and pushes a screwdriver through the screen on your (work-owned) laptop, apologises, then next day screams at you across a busy office, ignores you in the canteen, bitches about you to work colleagues, apologises again, gets her desk transferred to be 'near you', 48 abusive cellular texts per 8hr shift, jealous rage that you emailed a female work colleague without bcc'ing her in, frequent high volume workplace yelling, followed by 'making up'...
It's really, really not worth having a work relationship, especially if she's pretty. The pretty ones are FREAKY! - watamelon03, on 02/06/2008, -1/+4Sure while your together work productivity goes up, but what happens when ***** hits the fan and your not talking anymore?
- CedEx, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2*Two months later*
I've had six of them .... never again. Hey, she's cute.... - LogicBomB, on 02/07/2008, -0/+2I liked working there - it was high energy (in the back making the food), I was good at it and when it was dead I got to just talk with people. That's why slackers ruin a shift at McD's - because they kill the energy and give you no one to talk to.
- leerayIG88, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2yeah...i guess you can't have enough man sex.
- dafragsta, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2Tech company Sales and Geek Bratwurst.
- Awspire, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2From what I've seen in the work place, office romances have produced divorces, and caused others to either quit or transfer. I've yet to see a successful relationship form from such a "romance", other than something for the staff to gossip about.
- hoowahman, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2I am sorta in one in work. Been on for over the past year and during times has greatly increased my work productivity, however there have been down times including the last month where I am depressed because of a break up that is needed. I see her everyday and it reminds me of a lot of different things. Anyway now I barely do much work because of it but whatever its up and down in life a lot..nothing new.
- ivantalboys, on 02/06/2008, -0/+2www.page3.com fill your boots.
- spider418, on 02/06/2008, -2/+4Wholy #$%! You can get someone pregnant through email !?
I'm sorry but I feel compelled to ask. Was it a full email or a mobile SMS? Who's your carrier?
Wait, I bet it was gmail. They always add new features. I guess I should start reading those "top 10 gmail ..." posts. -
