For some of us spending the most part of the typical 24 hour day within the office environment may result in unexpected close relationships blossoming with our fellow workmates which could led to complications especially for those already in committed relationship elsewhere or with a significant other at home.

The result of such romantic attractions may led to further complications where the relationship is between staff member who are not on the same employment level, i.e. relationship between that of a superior and subordinate, and could wind up costing both the company and the staff members involved dearly.

Though there is a case for having strict guidelines when it comes to office romance for the sake of all parties involved, there is no stopping human nature from taking over when it comes to the affairs of the heart and no amount of deterrence will stop emotional entanglements from happening.

Is it a healthy thing to be caught up in a romantic engagement in the office work environment or is it too much of a taboo ? If you have ever been in such a dilemma in your workplace was the situation resolved amicable for all partied involved or was there a price to pay?

Sort:  

It really depends on what the individuals. And that starts from a recognition of what matters to them, but most importantly, how far they are willing to take the relationship.

Where we meet love, is not what matters, it is what we meet as love.

Love, after all, transcends everything. no? Yes. So it shouldn;t matter where. Adults are adults. And ahould know they take responsbility over their decisions, both mind born as well as heart born.

So are you at the work place? have you met someone you love? Does the person feeel the same way? Go for it. Is the person your superior? It doesnt matter, prrovided you know the diffrence between a work place, and love place!

Sometimes even without intending to when two individuals, inspire their work stations, work together in close proximity for most of the day they tend to get to know one another quite well and it is this familiarity that tends to blossom unintentionally as experiences are shared back and forth.

Lol, it just might not end up well, especially for people who are already married, i think one should be careful and cautious when dealing with the opposite sexes in the offices and workplaces.

While totally agreeing with your sentiment, sometimes rational thinking goes out of the window when it comes to matters of the heart.

Sincerely, i understand your point

Yeah @tony19r
Those relationships are not professional that's why there is always regulations in some institutions to avoid that in a working place. Whenever that happens as we are humans, they have to be out of working place!
Thank you for the article

@bmotives While regulations may act as a deterrence for some, others view them as but a challenge to conquer.
