People usually exchange numbers once they make that connection with someone. 39% of the surveyed number not only text, they go as far as sexting while on the clock.

When I say it's become the norm, people aren’t even hiding it. They talk about their potential online mates with their colleagues. It's no longer something that goes unnoticed.

According to career experts, talking about details of your love life at work is generally inappropriate. Some feel that such info can later be used against an employee.

Carlota Zimmerman, a success strategist says: “While men are [often] rewarded for their sexual prowess, women are still punished for it,” she says — and that means that even a seemingly mundane story could wind up hurting your reputation.”

If you have to do it, then don’t air too much dirty laundry to your colleagues. Keeping it to the minimum is the general rule.

“Only share what you don’t mind everyone in the office knowing”, advice Call to Career founder Cheryl Palmer. You are better off just keeping your private stuff within your circle of friends.

Well, much as they say “everyone is doing it”, if you have to do it at work, better not be caught. Luckily, with mobile sensitive dating websites and mobile apps, you might just get away with it.

    I may use my mobile phone, every now and then to communicate online but I refuse to use my work equipment to perform this task. Companies can track your progress and your stealing time. Yes this is shocking report but just be warned that this can get you fired. It all comes down to whether or not it’s worth it.
