Take it Outside
Above & Below
Yes, with regards to almost everything. If you do
embark on a relationship with a work colleague
it is probably best to make sure your
interactions happen away from the work place.
About a quarter of all Office Romances are
between different levels in the hierarchy and
this is seen by a third of the people as the most
unacceptable form of workplace relationship.
That means that firstly you should attempt to
keep your personal & private lives separate.
Maintain professionalism and decorum at all
times. There is no point bringing the morning
grumble about who forgot to get coffee into the
workplace as it might affect your effectiveness.
If you are in this position, do realise the impact
that it might have on you both, no matter who is
the superior or subordinate. There will be gossip
and discussion about you both and this may lead
to rumours of favourtism and bias. Therefore it
is best to try and stick the the previous point.
Secondly, keep the displays of affection away
from the workplace. You don't want to annoy
some of your colleagues with your expressions
of love.
On final thing on this point, It will never be a
secret for long, so don't try and hide it, it will be
perceived as much worse for you.
