If you think your colleagues are saints, think again. For example, 40% of people have cheated on their partner with a coworker. Your workplace is likely full of infidelity, questionable behavior, secret side gigs, and more. But you won’t find out about any of it, unless someone serves you up some juicy gossip.
People spilled the tea about the spiciest secrets they uncovered about their coworkers, and it is shocking what happens behind closed doors. In the mood for some office gossip and drama to share with your work bestie? Let’s dive in.

Man in gloves examines details, reflecting spicy personal details about coworkers.
This one office girl was super hot for this guy in the warehouse and he flirted but didn’t want to get too involved until one day she wore some kind of remote controlled panty vibrator thing to work and gave the guy in the warehouse the remote. That was years ago and they’re happily married now. He told me they’ve done it all over the warehouse since then.

76 Scandalous Things People Learned About Their Colleagues
A woman coworker went to get a massage in Las Vegas. I jokingly told her to get the whole package. She did. She wasn't aware what a happy ending was. She now knows very well.

I fix broken junk as a favor to others. Our young house cleaner gave me her computer with broken screen to fix, put a new screen on, tested WiFi, Bluetooth, speakers, mic, then clicked on a desktop .mp4 with an innocent filename to test codec and it was her and some dude making an adult film. No warmup, movie opened with them immediately going at it from a well lit camera angle. Closed the file and left it for her to pick up on her next visit. Turns out there are side hustles best left unseen.

Person I worked with wanted recs for a tat artist. I did and they went. Later I saw said artist and he was like 'hey, thanks for sending X my way, super cool to tattoo her.' I was like, 'X?! Her name is Y,' to which he said 'I don't know who Y is, but she's definitely X.' I thought it was a super weird conversation and later looked up the name he gave and, well, she's an adult performer and s*****e girl (back when those were a thing) (are they still?). I was like 'oh damn! Y is X!'

At my old part time job, 3 of my colleagues told me that they had a 3some together and it was only the 4 of us on the shift. Incredibly awkward. It was a guy and two girls.

Two coworkers discussing spicy personal details, reflecting on conversations in the office mirror.
She’s in a throuple. The original couple were looking for a third, found my colleague, and now the guy is leaving his wife for her. We didn’t ask to hear this, she told us without our consent.

Two coworkers with ID badges, carrying files, potentially discussing personal details or PTSD.
I know a woman on floor 22 slept with an SVP on floor 20 whose wife also works on floor 20.

I know one of my coworkers made out with a director who is 20 years her junior (and she’s married with children!)

I also work with a sales rep who used to fly a different coworker down to Texas for the weekend behind his wife’s back.

Lots going on up in the northeast. I keep my mouth shut.

One of them told (or at least heavily implied) that she had a one night stand and was out really late the night before because of it. Which is not like, SUPER scandalous, but I think that was like the 2nd conversation I had with her because she was new. Also I think she has a husband?

Not sure what she wanted me to do with that information tbh, but I was just kinda like haha U go queen.

My company is remote. Throughout the year we have full company events or meet with clients as a team in different states. Obviously we work and do what we need to do for our jobs, but once the work day is done we tend to go out for the night as a company since we don't see each other regularly. Lots of fun times.

We had a company event in Miami in 2024 and due to the amount of people we stayed at two different hotels, but they were right across the street from each other. After we had a company dinner close to 30 people including me went bar hopping. We got back to our hotels at around 3am and 5 of my colleagues and I took the elevator to the third floor since we all had rooms on the same floor. When we got off the elevator we saw the regional sales manager walking to the elevator fixing his pants.

We were all confused because he was staying at the hotel across the street. He said he got confused because the hotels look alike, but then the door down the hall opened. Someone was calling him in a playful way and was about to say something, but once she saw us all talking she quickly closed the door back. That person was the director of marketing. Word got around about what we saw and it turns out there was already rumors about them being together during these events. At that point it was obvious because during events and during work they were always together

The messed up part is we met the sales managers wife during an event in 2022 in his home state in Denver. He also has 2 kids and apparently been cheating on his wife during these events. He isn't with the company anymore, but I don't think his wife ever knew about it.

Was at a couple's only All-Inclusive with my wife for our 10th wedding anniversary. Ran into a coworker who I didn't know that well there who I assumed was there with her wife. I didn't know she was gay. We hung out quite a bit that week. Did a couple excursions, had dinner one night, and drank way more than we should have.

The last night the 4 of us were pretty drunk at one of the bars, and she pulled me aside and asked me not to mention who she was there with at work. I assumed it was because she wasn't Out yet, and being drunk I assured her that her secret was safe with me.

A few days after we got back, I stopped by her desk to say hi, and there's a photo of her family on her desk. Her husband and 3 kids.

Coworker is really into dragon d**dos... Make of that info as you will. I'm still confused to this day as to why she told me this.

A smiling man in a suit, possibly a coworker sharing personal details or dealing with PTSD.
Not a current colleague, thankfully.

Was in the pub one evening with some friends from work. They spotted some people they knew and invited them over. While chatting, it was revealed that one of the women knew my CEO. Her best friend had dated him a few years prior and had told her everything.

Which she then told us.

Apparently, said CEO was quite fond of, amongst other things, being p*gged. Often while dressed in women's clothing.

I wasn't really able to look him in the eye again after that.

A woman on the phone, looking concerned about personal details related to coworkers or PTSD.
She was married, doing long distance with her husband in other country... met a guy here, cheated and got pregnant by him... I knew while that was happening... she used to call her husband when we ate in the breakroom...

Two smiling coworkers cleaning a commercial kitchen counter, emphasizing personal details and workplace relationships.
My gm (of a restaurant) was messing around with the head chef (while she was married) and had a love child with him. She then got divorced and tried to play off that her 2 year old had the same dad as her other 3 children (he looked very different from the other kids).

Once on Mother’s Day she had all her kids there and the baby yelled “PAPA!” As he walked into the kitchen and saw him. They thought they had their relationship under wraps.

Fast forward two years after not seeing them/working with them.. my husband and I run into them in the Dells.

I was working in a typical cube farm. The lady in the cubicle next to me was trying to get pregnant. One day, probably around 11am, she wheels around the wall of her cubicle into mine. She's got something sticky she palpating between two fingers and her thumb. She says to me "would you describe this as viscous?" I was like "excuse me?" She says "this is my cervical fluids and I'm trying to figure out if I've already ovulated or not."

She's fingered out a glob of her own cervical fluid. At her desk. And asked me about the consistency. The look on my face and the silence drove her back to her cubicle and we never spoke of it again.
