In our recent double whammy survey, we asked if you had turned up to work “drunk” from the night before and secondly if you need stimulant drinks to get you through the working day.

The first survey looking into “drunk working” found that luckily 82% had NEVER done this. Unfortunately there were still 8% that do this on a regular basis and 10% that have done it once or twice. Once or twice is acceptably especially after a big work do, birthday or Christmas party. Do you know someone who falls into that 8% who regularly look bleary eyed and do you think it effects their work productivity?

The second survey asking about drinking stimulant drinks like red bull and monster at work found that a larger amount of people DO NOT drink them. 76% to be exact. However, 24% DO drink these caffeine/sugary drinks to help them get through the working day. Unfortunately, the people drinking these drinks will suffer from a number of side effects like shaking, agitation, dizziness, insomnia, headaches, palpitations and they have a dangerous ability to get people addicted to consuming them.

Our advice would be to keep those boozy nights to the weekend so you are not struggling to cope with a day at work and avoid those caffeine/sugary drinks that can spike your blood sugar levels and cause you to suffer from various other side effects.

In a recent survey conducted by TipTopJob, it was found that 20% of people have taken their office fling to the furthest step and had sex with another individual at work.

TipTopJob asked over 1000 respondents if firstly, they believed in love at the workplace and if office romances really exist. 54% believe so yet 46% do not.

Furthermore we looked at how far individuals have taken their office fling. On a sensible and reassuring note, 71% have never had an office fling and sadly no fling has developed into a relationship. On the other hand however, 6% have had a cuddle, 3% have had a kiss and more interestingly, 20% have actually had sex!

Stuart Rea, International Sales Director comments, “With Valentine’s Day this weekend, we thought it necessary to talk about workplace relationships and the extent of them.” He continues, “Funnily enough we have several ‘relationships’ going on in our office but no ‘office flings’ as far as we know at the moment! The day before Valentine’s Day this year is Friday 13th, unlucky for some, lucky for others. Will you get lucky this year?!? :) ”

Our most recent survey of around 1000 people over the last 2 weeks asked “When looking for a new job, where is the first place you would look?” The options we provided were; job board, recruitment agency, social network, friend network, direct, newspaper or jobcentre.

Most people clicked “job board” as the first place they would visit when looking for a new job, in fact 36%. “Recruitment agency” came in as the second most popular place to look with 24% of the responses. 13% would use their “social network”, 10% would visit their “jobcentre”, 8% would go “direct” to the employer, 7% read the “newspaper” and 3% said they would use their “friend network”.

We were surprised with the results as with so many more people using social networks today and with their increasing usage, we thought they would take more of the votes than a mere 13%. Recruitment agencies were two times more popular as a first choice and job boards almost three times more popular.

Where would you visit first? If it is a job board, then which job board is your number one?

Our recent survey has found that 80% had never told a white lie on their CV or Resume.

Our interest in such a question was sparked by a recent story about students being threatened with jail for embellishing their CVs. According to CIFAS, the UK fraud prevention service, 324 people were actually prosecuted in 2013 for fraudulent applications.

The survey unfortunately exposes 20% who are still admitting to lying. This may relate to a “white” lie, for example, better A level grades or improved job titles or indeed something else more sinister like creating a whole new job role.

Have you lied? Do you know someone who has lied? What was it about? Let us know….
