| The working population in the state of Colorado rates as one of the “horniest” in the U.S. Being in the staffing industry both here in Colorado as well as in California provides my colleagues and me with a unique insight into the human condition so I can tell you this is true based on empirical evidence proffered by my friends and my own personal experience. I’ve worked on both coasts and the people in Colorado seem completely incapable of keeping their hands off each other. Married, single, gay or straight there’s a lot of “action” at the office.After some quick research we found that this would seem to be true based on a Harris poll that shows some crazy variations across different parts of the United States. West of the Mississippi, it seems, people flirt more with their colleagues (45%, versus 37% in the South, 34% in the Northeast, and just 32% in the Midwest), and are more inclined to date a co-worker on the sly (23% of Westerners say they’ve done this, versus 15% in the Northeast, Midwest, and South).This where it gets crazy; SnagAJob.com discovered in an online poll with 800 respondents across the land: 72% of men, and 60% of women, are infatuated with a co-worker. Most (64%) intend to keep it a secret. Interestingly, men are more likely than women to reveal their feelings, according to this survey: 34% of women say they might spill the beans, while 40% of men say so.
Falling in love or lust at work isn’t without its risks and is almost always a BAD idea. Whoever said “don’t mix business with pleasure” was right, you’re really just looking for trouble. If you have to do it, save it for after hours, keep it outside the office and remember those kinky emails you’re trading back and forth will look great in your personnel file. You should also take a look at the longevity of your typical relationship and see if that coincides with when you want to start looking for a new job because in the majority of cases when the #^)*&^%& hits the fan one of the employees leaves. We spend so much time at work that the office is an easy place to fall in lust or love, and if you’re lucky (or not so lucky) you could end up as one of the people that actually meets their significant other. On the other hand with Colorado Springs, Englewood, Denver, Boulder and Ft. Collins nearby there are plenty of places to move and start over! |
