kissing a co-worker and drinking on the job, a recent survey
found.

The survey of about 5,700 employees by CareerBuilder.com asked workers to select the workplace taboos in which they had taken part. The results were:
- Falling asleep, 45%;
- Kissing a co-worker, 39%;
- Consuming alcoholic beverages while on the job, 21%;
- Stealing from the office, 22%;
- Spreading a rumor about a co-worker, 22%;
