When it comes to workplace intimacy, this industry is leading the pack.
That industry is manufacturing. According to the UK Human Resources consultant Reabur, 19% of factory workers answered yes to the question, “Have you ever had a sexual encounter in the workplace?” — the highest number of workers by a full 3%.
So why would a company actually spend valuable time conducting such a study? Reabur said it conducted the poll because there had been a significant increase in calls from client companies to resolve situations in which employees had been caught in act.
Here’s the breakdown of the other workers who can’t always wait until they’re off the clock to satisfy their lustful needs:
- office workers — 16%
- bar staff — 15%
- retail assistants — 13%
- plumbers — 11%
- teachers — 10%
- chefs — 9%
- postal workers — 9%
- firefighters — 7%, and
- cabin crew — 6%.
