Workplace Relationships?

This is suicidal employment at it`s worst. Nothing worse than having to see an ex every day. Even close friendships at the workplace can backfire as well.

tough question... just like inter-office dating.. tricky!\n\nyou gotta weigh things out ... i've found most people that spend too much time together will usually split up bad.. this can/will affect the band. \n\nI think Ego's might also be something to consider, if he is lead to u.. or visa versa, it might be a problem. I mean there are so many things to consider but the bottom line is love conquers all and if the rules or what you both want is laid out it should be okay. I guess communication is the main thing.\n\nGood luck and Rock on!

That's their way of "playing the game".  To have a different personality in the workplace to get ahead is a common practice.  It may be due to the fact that people are very guarded about their "true selves" and their private lives that the work environment and the relationships there aren't deemed worthy of the same level of trust.

Opposites often attract however, I would never get involved with any one that I work with.  If the relationship doesn't work out things can get really ugly to the point where one or both looses their job.

I dated a co-worker and it was a lot of fun... until he got me fired.\n\nEverything was great until I broke up with him. The company Christmas party was coming around (he was on temporary assignment in Atlanta, but flew in for the party) I was in Chicago. He told everyone that he was coming in to town and that "we" would be there. Then we broke up. I told him not to say anything to our co-workers about us dating, but he did anyway. When I showed up at the Christmas party with another man (2 weeks after we broke up), there was not only an issue between me and him, but my ex actually confronted my date in the men's room! Needless to say, that Monday I was "let go". I was devastated, but he was very close with the senior VP of the company. It worked out in the end though, I have a great job and the man that was my date that night is on my couch right now watching TV while I am online. (He still stuck with me after that night 10 years ago!) Best of luck sweetie, but I would not do it ever again.

If she has a boyfriend already then you just need to back off.  How would you feel if a co-worker was trying to get with your girl?  As for the work relationship, keep in mind that even a friendship would affect the work relationship, so a romantic relationship will affect it more deeply.  Move on and try someone else.

Unless the two of you are mature, it's not a good idea. You leave yourself open if you are the employee. If it doesn't work you will start to question that person for every decision he/she makes regarding you. He/she is picking on me. They are mad because it didn't work out between us. There are so many things that can come in between you 2. The pro's is that if it does work the superior can help you grow as a professional and as a person. It's tough,and it depends on the 2 people.

Yes they do. My wife and I worked for the same company albeit in different depts. We met when a co-worker we both knew has his leaving party. Since we were in different depts there was no issue, although we did keep it a secret for a while.

Explain to him that you're flattered, but you don't date your coworkers.  If it doesn't work out, it could be rough...and if it does it could be even worse....

In my opionion - keep your love life out of the office. It can have really ugly repurcussions other wise. Sorry.

don't worry it takes about one month. the best thing to do is ask questions it you do not know what to do.as for fitting in just find one person that you are comfortable with and talk to them about what is going on and in no time you will be getting along just fine with everyone, number one rule stay away from work drama..ie gossip

I believe that can only happen if the company you're working for has written guidelines dictating the permissibility of such practices.  The best way to find out would be to check with management regarding company policies (most companies will have a written list they hand out to new employees regarding such matters).  If something like that isn't given out, then I would assume (from personal experience) that it's ok, but best kept discreet.  I've had several relationships that originated in the work place and never had repercussions from any of them.  Best to check with management though.

I'm the general manager of a huge WAL-MART type of an enterprise in my country and i've had a problem a bit like this once.\n\nTwo of my employees which were supervisors to other employees didn't go along at all with each other. The problem was that both of them were incredibly talented and loved their job and they were both very succesive, but they had to work together and they just kept fighting all the time. I kept thinking for a week what to do with them until i found a very easy solution to this problem.\n\nI took separate private conversations with both of them since i was trying to find out what their hobbies are, i wanted to find out if there's anything they have in common. I found out that they both love fishing very much cause it relaxes them. So i organized a joint trip for them for 10 days to a great fishing site in my country. When i proposed them this vacation, they both agreed to go because of the fishing, even though they couldn't stand each other. Now, check this out, when they got back from the trip 10 days later, believe it or not, they looked like if they were BEST FRIENDS for years in row. Ever since, they work very closly together and are one of my best employees. They don't do any decision making without consulting each other, and sometimes when we have coffee or lunch, i remind them of how they were before the trip and we all laugh. \n\nMy idea saved me a lot of money and i still have 2 great managers working for me. Try it, maybe it'll work for you too.\n\n\nHope i've been of some help.

Try to meet him outside of work! But I hope you know the risks of an office relationship!!

I have found that it is usually best not to mix work life with personal life.  Sure, sometimes people get lucky and become friends through their jobs, and nothing bad happens.  But often the person you become "friends" with will try to take advantage of the situation, or worse, one day may get promoted and become your boss, creating an awkward situation.  Co-workers especially in an office) tend to be back-stabbers who will stop at nothing to get ahead.  They just might "accidentally" tell the boss about a mistake you made and corrected.  Or put you in a position you do not feel comfortable being in (lying to cover for them).  Or steal the promotion/raise that you were supposed to get.
