Are you for or against workplace affair?

I think it's common due to the couple having so much time shared in the same field and place, but dangerous if the couple end up having discussions and letting them be an influence at their work.

I've seen couples doing well working together, but many companies were I live have their own politics about family members working together, so they put the couple in different fields to avoid controversy or bias.

I'm not against it, but I wouldn't engage into this kind of relationship tbh.

Personally,I would never

the idea of being with someone 24/7 is terrifying to me

Depends on the circumstances of said job.

In my job, we are split by rotational teams, so sometimes I have work colleagues who I've never actually worked with directly. In those cases, a relationship could actually function without influencing how one works. There are 3 or 4 couples in my company currently and it was never a problem.

However, if there a direct link between the two people in their job, or one of them is in charge of delegating tasks, monitoring or providing evaluation to the other, it can be problematic if they are not unbiased enough to put their relationship aside. It requires a whole lot of professionalism, and I'm sure other co-workers wouldn't like that one bit. So yeah, it can make working easier for the couple, but it's way more problematic that not.

Personally, I would never let that happen.

Against as I don't think work and personal life should mix plus it's unprofessional imo.

laissez faire as I always say

but make sure you abide by your workplace policy as to romantic entanglements...

Never fuck the company

i actually met my current boyfriend at my workplace and we currently still work together, just in different departments. it honestly doesn't effect anything we both do because, again, we're in different departments, even though we do work on projects together sometimes. but both of us are able to keep it professional at work and our relationship is going very well right now so there's no issue there.

i would say the circumstances of the situation are important. i would never think its appropriate to date a higher up, direct or not. and it would even be difficult to date someone you work in close proximity with like someone in the exact same position as you. but it can definitely work out. plus neither me nor my boyfriend intend to be working at our current workplace forever so lol

Personally I wouldn’t because I’m a product of a work place relationship. My grandparents met at work then they broke up and my parents met at work and eventually broke up so I wouldn’t.
