Qld: Women come off second best when office affairs turn sour

A survey of illicit office affairs suggests that women come off second best, sufferingthe disapproval of colleagues.

In an anonymous survey of 300 workers, Griffith University academic GEOFF CARTER sayshe's found women also report self esteem and health problems when the affair breaks up.

The survey covered affairs involving at least one person who was married.

He says only women who hold a higher position than the man they have an affair withescaped debilitating damage to their reputation in the workplace.

Mr CARTER says it's sexist -- but he says the attitude is that it's somehow worse forwomen than men to engage in illicit affairs.

However, he says workers seem to have little problem with romance blossoming betweentwo people who aren't attached.
