10 Quick Tips for Sleeping with a Coworker
Considering how much time many of us spend at the office these days, dipping your pen in the company inkwell is just a matter of convenience dating: you share similar schedules, have built in references, and already have something in common. So here are our top ten tips for office nookie:
- Don’t sleep with anyone above or below you on the corporate ladder: stick to peers to avoid potential abuses of power.
- Make sure your company doesn’t actually have a policy banning inter-office fraternizing. If they do, we can’t in good faith recommend it — especially not with the economy still in a slow recovery.
- Do send the occasional saucy text or IM, but don’t let it affect job performance.
- Remember that the bigger and more corporate the company is, the more likely it is to be monitoring your communications. So get good at double entendres.
- Don’t exchange double-entendres at the water-cooler unless you want all your co-workers to hate you.
- Do call it “carpooling,” as in “Did you see who carpooled to work again this morning? Heh-heh.”
- Do actually car-pool to work so that you can claim your nookie is an environmentally-friendly operation.
- Do take long lunches at nearby cheap motels.
- Don’t have sex in the unisex handicapped bathroom. That’s just gross.
- Do have sex on your boss’s desk after-hours and in the supply closet that nobody visits. You’ll always regret it if you don’t.
