R = \{(x,y) : x \;and\; y\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place\}

\left ( x,x \right )\in R,so it is reflexive

\left ( x,y \right )\in R means x \;and\; y\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place .

y \;and\; x\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place i.e. \left ( y,x \right )\in R so it is symmetric.

\left ( x,y \right ),\left ( y,z \right )\in R means x \;and\; y\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place also y \;and\; z\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place.It states that x \;and\; z\;work\;at\;the\;same\;place i.e. \left ( x,z \right )\in R.So, it is transitive.

Hence, it is  reflexive, symmetric and
transitive.
