Snog a Scouser? No thanks...

February 18, 2009

Ping! The latest email from the Institute of Pointless Research drops into Guru's inbox.

Conference call provider Powwownow (annoying name) surveyed 2,000 UK business people to discover what the real appeal of 'the meeting' was. Other than chocolate digestives (16%) and time out of the office (9%), a fifth revealed they relished the opportunity to flirt.

Apparently, women from the north-west of England are the most likely to do the kiss-kiss cheek thing in a work situation. What tarts...

Guru is left wondering what exactly do surveys like this prove? That if you happen to be in a meeting with a women from Merseyside or Manchester then your chances of kopping off greatly increase?

In Guru's experience, you should never try and slip the tongue in at work; always wait until after a long boozy lunch or at the end of works night out.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
