I have a friend in a very senior management position. He is married with children. He has a very pretty lady assigned to him as a PA and a second one is the receptionist.
e apprciates both and has been having a fling with them at different times and under different circumstances. I know the wife is equally beautiful even after all the childbirths.
Now the office ladies are underperforming and a bit insurbodinative. Management has observed the decline in performance. He has put himself in a fix.
Is office romance neat or dirty! Have you ever been involved in one or given the opportunity, would you indulge in it and why?

Ohhh, that's funny. Since being unfaithful is the worst thing anyone can do in a relationship, it amuses me that he's paying for it. What an idiot.
Like they say: you reap what you sow. I suspect he'll soon be in an extremely difficult situation, especially if it goes as far as an official investigation. Imagine trying to explain that to the wife!

Official investigation doesn't disturb me but explaining to the wife..mmm.. that part is pretty hard because I would be dragged into it. Worst still I knew about it, advised against it but never told the wife whom we all relate good. I would now appear before her as unfaithful, guilty of the same offence as the husband and probably liable for some form of social punishment.

I have a friend who once asked me what I'd do if he told me he was having an affair (I knew his lady very well as well). I told him not to tell me because I'd lose all the respect I had for him and instantly inform his lady that he was a lying, cheating scumbag who she'd be better off without.

Office romance always brings unpleasant incidents to the persons involved. Actually it affects the smooth functioning of the office. It spoil the future of both involved in it, not only in job but also in personal and family life.
I have suffered considerable losses by such silly attachment some years ago. Mind worked by a strange reasoning then, which brings laughter now..

Oh! you got involved in it in the past. But come to think of it, you work say, 5 days a week and this person is the one you interact with most of the week. You see this person in over 70% of your daylight. Getting some attachment is only natural but falling into ehm ehm, you get what I mean....
I am compelled to believe it should have blossomed since you should get to know each other better.
But... what went wrong!

Hi... I used to have one night stands with my boss in the previous company... But that did not affect our work... In the office, we just performed our roles and there was no problem.. The scores remained good, always... I don''t understand why your friend's performance has declined.. After all such relations- if we can call them so- are only for fun... There's nothing serious about them...

i think it is a very dirty thing to do though i've never been involved in this kind of situation. i wouldn't dare doing it.
