A new study has revealed that 67 percent of the employees have an affair with their bosses to get ahead at work.

According to a survey by dating site Victoria Milan, 42 percent of participants said they have already had an affair with a co-worker or a boss, while 81 percent said they have at least "fooled around", Huffington Post reported.

Sigurd Vedal, CEO of Victoria Milan said that sharing most of the hours working with colleagues lead to establishing further relationships that can deepen into more serious feelings or even unresolved sexual tensions.

Vedal added that many cheaters apparently decide to make a move and resolve that tension and improve their situation by getting a raise or a promotion.
