"Work Spouse"

[somecyguy]

I knew a guy that got caught doing his work wife on the conference room table. they both left the company. Don’t know if it was embarrassment or HR.

At a previous company I worked for, there was a guy who kept noticing that stuff was being taken from his desk. Loose change, small objects, pens, stuff like that. So he set up a motion activated web cam in his cubicle. The camera found out that the man and woman from the janitorial service were stealing from him... and that they engaged in "relations" right in his cubicle. Not that the stealing or the "relations" were confined to his cubicle. Apparently, their "passion" carried them from location to location. Also, the guy just walked around, emptying garbage cans, with his hog out.

I’d have to burn my cube.

Every time you see a stain in your cube that you don't think you made you'll think of this

I’ve had some work friends who I did golf league with, helped them move, went to games, drinks, etc. Never occurred to me to keep it separate.

I don't know that I've ever had someone I'd call a "work spouse" and frankly, I find that term a little cringeworthy, but I definitely tend to form close bonds and strong friendships at work. Some of my closest friends are people that I've worked with, and that seems logical to me, considering the amount of time you spend together and shared experiences.

As you said, we have worked together, in the same building, or WFH for about 16 or 17 of the past several years. So I definitely had my spouse-spouse there.

But for the bit of time we worked apart, I did have a close guy buddy whose wife joked I was his "work wife." We were close friends with them as a couple, and Janny, he, and I used to go to lunch when all three of us worked together, so it wasn't a threat in any way.

Was it the guy with his “hog” out?

My office is dudes and 2 secretaries in their 60s, so no.

Funny story, though. Had some buddies going to trivia one night and I text my wife "hey, do you care if I do trivia tonight?". Unfortunately, my fat fingers turned "trivia" into "Tricia", which just so happens to be the name of my secretary. Whoops.

So was she good with it?

 

[NWICY]

This is a great example of what I'm talking about. People just interpret it very differently. People I've joked with as being my "work wife" are generally my assistants who I frankly spend more time with than my wife. They get to know me very well and ideally are able to anticipate my needs. They keep me organized and help me run my work life. There has never been anything even remotely romantic/sexual about it at all. We don't talk outside of work or anything like that.

I just hadn't really thought about the fact that others view the term "work wife" from a different perspective which now in hindsight could create undesirable reactions if I were to use that term in a social setting.

This is the version I'm used to.

You would be shocked the percent of time Janny refers to the male genitalia as a “hog.” I am super grateful our second grader has carried on the tradition.

I use the term quite a bit just because I watched Workaholics and its hilarious to describe it as a "hog".

 

[CoachHines3]

i like to use hogger but hog works just fine.

You guys are not the support system I need.

Guess you can say we are both hog farmers, except I raise pigs……………

So is that the meaning of the song “Who let the hogs out?”
