You’ll be giving your co-workers and contacts (even bosses eek) the side-eye for the rest of the day, after learning that the travel industry is high (very high) on the list of cheating professions.
Uh oh, are you starting to think there’s some truth to that water cooler gossip you overheard last week?
Well you can stop analysing all the rumours, because when we say travel industry we actually mean those working in the aviation sector – (cue the collective “oh yeah, makes sense”).
According to a study conducted by infidelity dating site, Victoria Milan, aviation is the second highest cheating profession, with flight attendants, pilots and flight pursers more likely to accumulate extra-martial partners, secret lovers or even colleagovers (colleague lovers – is there an official word for office affairs?).
The research on some 5,658 of the site’s female clients, found brokers, bankers and analysts to be the biggest cheaters followed by those working in aviation, healthcare, business and sports.
Musicians, DJs and lawyers also made the list as the sixth, seventh and eighth top professions to stray, followed by journalists (uhhhh ?).
Two out of three women who took part in the poll confessed to cheating at work because it was the easiest place to connect with someone and it’s the easiest place to find somewhere to hide.
Despite the popularity of dabbling in interoffice affairs, 85 percent of respondents said they do not recommend sleeping with a colleague, The Mirror reported. The reason for this is pretty obvious – 70 percent said the negative to having sex with a colleague is that if it ends badly, you still have to work with that person.
