Ended up married to a colleague - does that count as surviving? 🙂

Only in my younger days.

Yep, when I first left school I worked in a call centre, shit, shit job but excellent social life and lots of people aged 18 to early 20s who drank, clubbed and bumped uglies with each other most weekends.

In fact I lost my virginity to a colleague a few years earlier when I worked part-time in a supermarket. No law suits yet!

I slept in the same bed as a female colleague once but I'm sure that isn't what you meant. I have absolutely no idea where that appears on the current scale of things and I had only met her that day.

Proper full on body rubs and groping during the heady days of clubbing, but 500 people rammed into Fabric at 3am means someone [i]over there[/i] is going to come over to you at some point and jiggle and wiggle provocatively in your face...
Male or Female.

Not at work though, but my Boss did marry his secretary.

Yes

Don't dip your pen in company ink. I was told this 40 years ago and it's advice I've heeded.

When it goes tits up, and it usually does, they nearly always side with the woman

Sleep with a colleague and survive?

Yes. Several times. Several different jobs.

Ended up living with one.

Junior colleague, yes.
Same level colleague, yes. [edit]more than once[/edit] [2nd edit] several more than once and I’m going to stop thinking about it [/2nd edit]
Senior colleague, should have done, but didn’t.
Colleagues daughter, yes 😳

All in my mid-twenties so didn’t give a toss........it’s what you do.

ME. We are married though.

Don't recall any from shared employer but a fair few from suppliers / partners/ customers back in the day, predominantly in my comparatively hedonistic 20s and early 30s.

Life sure was more simple back then.

Yup, 20 years ago (both single at the time). Still in the same job and still friends with each other.
In fact been MTBing with her hubby 😀

Yes. Numerous.

C.I.S building in Manchester, 2000 mostly young people and access to the finest music known to man?

Hell yes.

Nope, never been tempted.
Mind you, i’ve Been with Mrs_D since before I started my first permanent job

I was a 19 year old IT monkey in a call centre of 18-25 year old girls in the city.

I'd been asked to monitor all the emails from the call centre staff by the MD, so mostly monitored for any positive mentions of me. Good times.

Really?

Yep as a young sales rep in the 70's..opportunities were plentiful and why say no ?..Both inside and outside the companies I worked for.
I've been faithful for the last 19 years and feel very lucky to have a partner 17 years my junior

I have.

I was self employed at the time 😥

With yourself may I ask ? 😆

What constitutes "survival"?

No idea ..consensual sex ?

Yes but it was a stupid idea every time

Survival would probably be coming out of it still with both of you employed and no harassment claims in the pipeline.

Yeah, survived. Nearly got caught on the boardroom table though.

Really?

Nope. And if you’d worked where i’ve worked, you’d understand 😉

Yep
Bosses other half
I think thats already too much info

Define colleague

Sales rep for company ?

Directors daughter ?

Delivery point ?

Sister in law?

all of the above ?

more importantly what's a delivery point in this context?
Are all these one person?

Used to be a truck driver .. one shop always took longer to unload 🙂

Worked with a girl many years ago who's nickname was BJ... Took full advantage of that

Does it count if the action happened before you were colleagues? I survived, but 4 years later when I started my first grad job, the dawning realisation and ensuing embarrassment of how I knew my fellow grad from somewhere damn near killed me.

What if you work for an ink company?

Don't dip your pen in company ink. [s]I was told this 40 years ago[/s] I was told this and it's advice I've [s]heeded[/s] ignored then learnt the hard way.

When it goes tits up, and it usually does, they nearly always side with the woman

Had a few part-time jobs when I was younger and tried to make a go of one of them (not saying where as the young lady in question's dad is on here!!). Moved to another office to do some management training and met a young lady (she was 17 and stunning) there who was the Saturday worker. Everyone was after her except me, didn't really like the people there so just kept my head down and got my 6 month placement over and done with. On the last week I was there we had a party as we'd met bonus target, just a night out at the local pub. Once the food had been eaten most of the staff went on to a nightclub in town and it was just me and the Saturday girl left so I gave her a lift home. As we pulled up at her place she jumped on me and I didn't resist (did I mention she was stunning 😉 ). Seeing as I was leaving that office I thought 'what the hell' and we started a relationship that lasted 6 months.
This was until she decided to cheat on me with the new trainee at her office. Things got a little messy personally and professionally (to say the least!) during the beak-up with people in her office taking her side and it lead to my path into higher management being blocked by one of her colleagues a year later as it meant working with her and the new trainee again. No other options for me to explore and once I'd had a path blocked I was overlooked for everything. Someone started spreading seriously nasty rumours about me shortly after (later found out it was her new partner, the one she'd cheated on me with) so I left the company and moved on to a job I absolutely hated.

Saw her about 6 years later and she tried to be all nice and pally with me, as if nothing had happened. She'd gone from the person I liked the most to the one I hated the most.

I've never 'dipped in the company ink' since despite a few opportunities.

I slept in the same bed as a female colleague once

Never been tempted. There's no female prison officers in my age range I'd go near even if the continuation of humanity depended on it!
