Every day we pull some stats from a survey and say have a chat about the findings. Today: Naughty goings on at Christmas parties.
34% of workers admit to having had sex with a colleague whilst attending their company’s Christmas party.
More than 60 per cent have drunkenly kissed someone they work with.
Nearly a quarter of people (25 per cent) admit to calling in sick the next day with a hangover.
18 per cent have made a poor career move and used the Christmas party as an opportunity to tell their boss exactly what they think of them.
25 per cent have decided it would be an appropriate time to chat their boss up, perhaps trying to secure a pay rise or bonus.
10 per cent have stripped off at the Christmas party.
31 per cent have confessed a secret to someone they wish they hadn't.
26 per cent have engaged in some dodgy karaoke.
More than half of partygoers have done something embarrassing and made a fool out of themselves in front of their co-workers while getting carried away in the festivities.
