"Sticky Sex Situations" One in four people say they’ve had a fling with a work colleague.
Whether it’s a one-night stand or the start of something serious, your other coworkers
may figure it out. "Be professional at the office, because you want to avoid the appearance
of favoritism," says Amy Nicole Salvaggio, associate professor of psychology at UNH
who studies workplace romance. If things between you sour, she says, "don’t unload
your emotions on other coworkers. The degree to which you [stay calm] will go a long
way toward minimizing damage to your career or reputation."
