18 hilarious tweets about gay work crushes you’ll want to hide from HR
TGIM? Yes, the weekend always seems too long when you have a workplace crush to moon over during the workweek.Think back, for example, to that gay Reddit user who said his “insanely attractive” office buddy was making it awfully hard to concentrate on the work at hand.And in statistics that should reassure anyone who wants to canoodle with a colleague—or have an assignation with an associate, if you will—workplace romances are surprisingly common.As the Harvard Business Review’s Ascend blog noted in 2021, research has found that half of U.S.
workers and two-thirds of U.K. workers have dated a colleague. In the case of the workers stateside, the relationships were mostly with peers (70%) but sometimes with supervisors (18%) and subordinates (21%).Ascend also pointed out that office romances were at a 10-year low at the time, a decline likely caused in part by the #MeToo reckoning—which should be a reminder to keep your workplace crushes respectful, people!
It should go without saying that sexual harassment is never acceptable, and organizations often have rules about workplace romances, especially when a power imbalance is involved.Now, with those words of caution out of the way, behold these thirsty tweets from Twitter users with gay work crushes.My work crush just came up to me and said, "I'm going to break you."Let me tell you, my gay ass was not forming sentences after that.— Chuffy (@ChuffyBunny) December 18, 2022work crush asked me if i wanted top or bottom today and my gay ass just looked at him and was like “…wait what??” it took me a second to realize he was referring to the table section we were both sharing ?— jp (@juanpaoloo) September 7, 2021the gay panic when i talk to my work crush now… i can see her smilin.
