When I first saw this thread title I knew before even reading there would be 'well they are there for the same reason you are' posts.

I've never agreed with this.

Much of it depends on your relationship at work with that person 'Boss/equal/different department/subordinate' the nature of your work, the nature of the person involved, and the like.

Meeting that hot funny woman from accounting and her husband might be good, meeting the single male with poor job performance you were thinking would need to be let go might be not so good.

It does add a layer of complication to a hobby that already has a lot of complications.

Imagine running into one of your best clients, who just happens to be rather unattractive, and just seems so THRILLED you are in the lifestyle.

But lets take it one step beyond.

You might not recognize or see someone from work, but they may see you. In the backstabbing world that can be common in some companies, you have now given them a new weapon.

So again, it goes back to what you do, and what you have to lose. I know a school superintendent for a very large district who only goes to clubs on Halloween since she can wear a wig and a mask.
