Getting along with the people you work with can definitely make a job more enjoyable, but new research reveals a lot of folks are actually getting it on with their coworkers, too. According to a new survey from U.K. online gaming company RANT Casino, 43% of employees admit to having an affair with a colleague.
The poll of 38-hundred adults finds the majority of these trists happen in the workplace itself (25%), at work events (21%), on trips (14%) and meeting outside of work (17%). And it turns out, certain industries are statistically more likely to cheat than others.
