We've heard reports that business process outsourcing work in India can be a dead-end job replete with long hours and unpaid overtime. But it seems such workplace woes are being offset to some degree with moments of sexual healing.
A story in the India press today reports that BPO workers are smooching and more in office settings, which have transformed into personal spaces in addition to professional domains. "From making friends to cultivating relationships, BPO units are slowly becoming hubs where inter-personal bonding takes place," the story in The Economic Times says. "And it comes as little surprise that many also give vent to their sexual urges in the office space."
The story says that footage from cameras at a leading Mumbai-based BPO unit showed a couple having sex in an office cubicle.
One source quoted in the story suggested that serving Western customers may be changing the behavior of Indian BPO workers. "Most of us have shed a lot of inhibitions when we come into this sector, trying to fall in step with a different time zone and culture that becomes a part of you," said Nicola D'Costa. "Couples walking with their arms around each other's waist/shoulder or grabbing a quick kiss in vacant corridors does happen."
Somehow, I knew this would end up being our fault.
Must have been the Hennigans.
security cameras caught A couple engaging in A sex act and they extrapolated this into offices rife with origes and common sexual bahavior?
glad there ain't cameras in my office!
I knew I retired too early! :)
sorry mike, you ain't my type:-)
Join the crowd.
Remember what happened after George Costanza gave away the cashmere sweater (with a small red stain) to the cleaning lady?
the retired crowd? the Bone Idle crowd??? I can't wait!:-)
Vastly overrated. Sort of like realizing, if I'd known what being an adult was like, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

I never grew up. ui plan to proceed directly from childhood into my second childhood. that way nobody will know the diff.
i yam not surprised.
In INDIA??? I sure hope these people are using birth control.
I never watched Seinfeld. What happened?
George buys a very expensive cashmere sweater for Elaine's birthday. But being a cheapskate, he buys it because it is discounted for pennies on the dollar because of a "hardly noticable" red stain on the front.
Jerry tells him not to do it. George says nobody will notice and he will get extra points from Elaine for buying such an expensive gift.
But then there was Kramer... who promptly noticed the stain when Elaine was trying on her new gift.
Elaine got mad, returned the gift and George gave it to the cleaning lady at his office. They had sex on the cubical desk. When she noticed the red dot, she informed the boss that she and George had sex in the office. (George: "You got me here. Is that against the company policy? If so, just tell me.")
George was fired.
Thanks.
Ping.
Eeuww! Not in my cubicle and not with anyone I work with.
I dunno. I've got one of those 8'×8' cubicles. If I were to drape a shower curtain liner across the entrance ...
