Large percentage of workers admit to sleeping, kissing on the job: poll

Note that when I said sleep, I meant sleep ... not sleeping "with." Don't let the kissing part go to your head. What's strange, knowing techies as I do, is that IT workers outscored the average in the kissing category.

A Harris Interactive poll, done for CareerBuilder.com, showed which workplace taboos are more "popular" with workers:

Falling asleep at work (45%)
Kissing a co-worker (39%)
Stealing from the office (22%)
Spreading a rumor about a co-worker (22%)
Consuming alcoholic beverages while on the job (21%)
Snooping after hours (18%)
Lying about an academic background (4%)
Taking credit for someone else’s work (2%)

Unsurprisingly, men admit to more of these no-nos.

Men report that they engage in all of these workplace taboos more than women. For instance, nearly half (49%) of men have fallen asleep on the job compared to 35% of women. When it comes to kissing co-workers, 44% of men and 34% of women admitted to puckering up.

As I said, IT workers outdid their brethren in the kissing category with 47% admitting to that taboo, vs. the 39% average. They also fall asleep more, with 49% doing so vs. the 45% average.

On the other hand, kings of the sleep category are the government workers, as 64% admitted to falling asleep on the job. I wonder if this includes our President?
