None. I think hugs are used as manipulation in a workplace.
I only hug family members and longtime friends.

I hate it. Please don't touch me ever! Unless I'm unconscious and need CPR.

Yes, people are pretty huggy across genders. The company is remote, so a lot of us don’t see each other in person often. During our offsites a few times a year people hug as a greeting and to say goodbye.

I am a natural hugger but have scaled back a lot due to the discomfort it brings many others. Every now and again, if I haven't seen someone in a while, I hug them.

I’m in an office with about 70 people and known to be the “mom.” I have both given hugs and received hugs others have initiated. It’s totally situational and person-dependent.

Yes, I "deeply" touched two and now divorced.

Not typically but when I was out for an extended period, a couple co-workers hugged me upon my return. It was spontaneous.

Never and I don't want to be touched.

I'm ok with hugs, and throughout my career had coworkers with whom I hugged on special occasions/more informal situations.
Professional interactions/introductions were handshakes only.
I recently started the new job, people here hug all the time. It felt very weird to hug with CFO during introduction, tbh.

All the time. The busier it is, the more we collide. Nobody cares or thinks about it.

I am not a hugger and I think I give off a don’t touch me vibe. The only coworker I’ve wanted to hug is one I was also very sexually attracted to

Only once beyond a handshake and I ended up marrying her.

Nonprofit environment. Lots of huggers. I’m cool with it.

I’m a tall, extroverted 40-year old man, a big hugger in my personal life, but I’m completely paranoid about hugging people at work. I have no interest in my friendliness and my personal inclinations toward touching being misinterpreted. I can think of a handful of occasions that I’ve grasped male coworkers on the shoulder (“hey, congrats on that result, Dave”) but no hugs.
