Office romance gets all the glory, but what about office friendships? Read on for happy stories from workers who met their BFF on the job, including pals who bonded over an aquarium’s seal release, a love of rock ‘n’ roll, and, best of all, Beyonce’s secret milkshake. More
Many employees have missed major milestones in their personal lives because they had to work. But do they all regret it? Or do they think this is just a consequence of hard work? We talked to a few people who said they missed major life events to find out.

When it comes to finding love in the workplace, pedestrian pleasures often have to sub in for traditional engines of romance: Coffee instead of cocktails. Fast food under fluorescent lights instead of long dinners over candlelight. And, as it turns out, emoticons instead of love letters. According to a new survey, about 45% of women and 59% of men who have gotten romantically involved with a coworker say the affair started with an emoticon in a text message or email. More
A new study finds that moms who work outside the home full-time are healthier, more energetic, and happier than stay-at-home moms, and even better off than those work part-time. And another new study, with a sample size of one, finds that it really seems like there’s a new study pitting stay-at-home moms against working moms just about every other week these days. Here’s a sampling of related Very Important Findings over the course of the last five years: More
On the new show Political Animals actress Carla Gugino plays top political reporter Susan Berg (think a younger and more serious Maureen Dowd.) She is a woman that has always put her career first. Before family, before men, before any sort of personal life. On a recent episode she even admitted that her life was divided into three playlists: deadline, treadmill and insomnia. She did recently have a boyfriend on the show (who was her editor) but she didn’t put any time into the relationship (actually he said that) which is probably why he slept with her coworker (not that that is a good excuse.) She tells the son of the Secretary of State after a few glasses of wine as they fly to California to cover a story about how she has always been certain about her career but never about love. They talk about how she has never lowered her standards in her career and maybe in her relationships too. “There is a flip side no one tells you about. You wake up one day and you realize that while you were busy being brazen and making a name for yourself everyone made a life. And then you’re not uncompromising, you’re just sad.” But can you really blame your career for a non-existent dating life? We talked to some women about this. More
It’s no great secret that older, rich, not-even-that-attractive men have no trouble finding younger, very attractive women to date and marry them. Think Rupert Murdoch, Harvey Weinstein, and, well, hundreds and hundreds of other wrinkly old rich men. Older, super-successful women, however, have a more difficult time with love, for a set of complicated and infuriating reasons. Increasingly, those women are turning to matchmakers. More
Work anxiety is a very real thing. The goal for many therapists is to help their client function better and healthier as an individual. They want to help you identify thoughts so that you can more effectively cope with your current situation.
But therapists can sometimes say really unhelpful things. For example, I had a therapist frequently tell me I was “torturing myself” and that this probably “didn’t feel good.”
Well, obviously. I wasn’t sitting in his finely upholstered chair staring out a window at the New York City skyline talking about the super awkward conversation I had with a coworker that morning because it “felt good.” My ego didn’t get a boost shelling out a copay on a regular basis so I could talk about my problems.

Once in a while, some major news breaks during the dog days of August. A vice presidential candidate is announced, for example. Or, even more earth-shattering, one of the most famous actresses in the world finally gets engaged OMG!!! Yes, it’s true: On Friday night, screenwriter and actor Justin Theroux proposed to Jennifer Aniston, she said yes, and most importantly, both of their PR people confirmed it to the media. Thus ends seven years of horrible singlehood for the successful, gorgeous, rich, hard-working actress who just couldn’t get a break in life because she wasn’t married.

I hope you like the person sitting in the cubicle next to you because they will probably be your best friend. Not because you like them that much, but because you’re too lazy to make friends elsewhere. A poll found that one in three British workers finds their kindred spirits sitting across the desks or gossiping around the water cooler. Almost a third of those polled said they have made the majority of their friends through work. The next most common place to make friends was in college or on vacation but begins people are working so much now, it is very difficult to make friends during an activity that isn’t work. More
Earlier this week a blogger called Bankerella wrote a post for Wall Street Oasis that has been causing a lot of rumbling among the Wall Street crowd. In the post she talks about the fact that the only men that are acceptable for a woman in finance to date have to work in finance (traders, consultants, private equity guys, hedge fund guys, private wealth management guys, etc.,) and she doesn’t exactly silver coat how she feels about these men (using a computer mouse was considered a character flaw for consultants.) For example, she says men that work in Private Wealth Management are great at finding the best restaurants but on the con side they may put a girl into “date rape territory” (we’re not sure if that puts him on the same level as the guy using the mouse.) The post got many enraged comments from both men and women, but I believe the main point we should take away from this is that women in finance do work a ton of hours so dating someone who understands that lifestyle may be better for the relationship. Though this blogger is also stating that men who don’t work in finance couldn’t possibly be as smart as them or worthy of their time? We talked to some real women in finance to see if they agree with this dating school of thought. More
A Olympic rower for Germany has come home early from London after her role in a major scandal. No, not cheating or doping; and not throwing matches like those infamous badminton teams. Instead, Nadja Drygalla is dating a neo-Nazi. Her boyfriend, a competitive rower himself, sounds like an awful person. But should dating a jerk really make you ineligible for the Olympics? More
Often movies glamorize the working woman but we found some films where working a lot results in having no social life, having your children hate you and in a few cases, death. Yup, that’s right. In the world of movies if you work all the time you may die young. Here are 9 movies where it sucks to be a workaholic. More

On this site we have talked about how being both married and not married can have an impact on your career. Some people view women who get married young as more stable and serious but others look at them as time bombs that will be quitting any day now to go have babies. But then again, being single and a young professional women brings along it’s own set of baggage. But questions about your relationship status aren’t usually even asked if you are wearing a ring on that left hand. But it turns out that little piece of jewelry brings its own huge set of associations that can have a tremendous impact on your career. We talked to some people about the ring stigma at work.
