Office Relationships  

I would not like this at all. I need a break from my man once in a while. I want to come home to him or wait for him to come see me. I don't want to look in his face everyday and then after work.

I don't think it would be a good idea for my boyfriend and I to work at the same place. We don't even go to the same college so it would be a little weird if we worked together and don't go to school together. Both of us are still in college so neither one of us have jobs right now but I would not want to work together. I wouldn't mind if we worked at the same company but it would have to be in different departments. I feel like that would be okay so that we could have lunch together every so often. I think seeing each other too much could be a bad thing. Also, if you have an office relationship and then it ends, you have to face your ex every day you go to work and that could make it hard to get over each other. That's just my take on it and why I wouldn't want my boyfriend and I to work together. It works for some people and good for them if it works but I don't think its for me.

I think it is actually okay having time together at work helps too and it is alright to have lunch together too.. hehe i kinda miss that one, especially the part that you would be going to the office together or going home at the same time.

of course when you are at your desk, it would be great if your bf/gf won't bug you with work and obviously understands your time for work.

I have no boyfriend in the workplace though I almost had but he turned to other direction and pick a different girl. Actually based on what we'd been through (the relationship is almost heading to romance had not halted), it was not very difficult but the only factor is that it is impossible to escape the taunting and prodding of officemates and colleagues, so I realized that having a relationship with the same workplace, you are vulnerable to intrigues and gossip and will most likely impossible to escape the issues which might lead to disillusionment to the relationship. But the good thing of having a love one in the same workplace is that you will be more closer together and no need to announce where are you going or what are you doing, because it is pretty much given.

I have nothing against it and in fact, I have no problem with it. However, in such relationships, limitations and boundaries should be recognized. When it's office time, it should be all work. No special favors or no wasting of time. Sound ideal but that's how it should be. Apart from that, office relationships are so prone to criticisms and gossips. It's quite unavoidable, there would be some people in the office who loves to talk about officemates and find fault in them, it's their idea of having fun. So what are the pros and cons? The pros I think would be that since both of you are working on the same place, there is very little room for distrust to breed. For those who really love spending time together, working on the same office is an advantage. You have lunch and breaks together, go to and leave the office together, and there could be lesser time constraints (after all, both of your time is the same). But there are some cons. First and foremost is that there would be for sure a lot of office talks, especially from tongue tied officemates. Next is that, should you have any conflicts, it's hard to avoid it in the office. You see each other and there could be a tendency to fume up and for sure one's performance would definitely be affected. Realistically, not spending some personal time together might be unavoidable at work so it would affect one's performance. Summing it up, it takes a lot of maturity and professionalism to engage in office relationships. Emotions could sometimes get into one's way and really affect the performance. That is not good in one's career.

Firstly,I would not find a boyfriend in the same company,not to mention in one office.It is unbelievable! It only makes your work harder and harder to do.
Secondly,I don't think there has frienship in one office, but benefits!more likely than having a boyfriend or girlfriend. \
Also there are many other disadvantage,If you want to begin,think it over!

the pros is that you could always see him, the cons is that jealousy cant be avoided.

ladychai,

In the first place, there isn't any hard and fast rule as to where one would meet and fall in love with one another.

Relationship is about computability, communicating, respect, mutual trust and most of all love for each other. Hence, there is nothing wrong with working colleagues to fall for each other and it is unimportant. What's important is how both parties can learn and love one another to make the relationship work.

However, there's something couples in this case should need to be aware of and that is their company's policy with regards to having a relationship within the office. I am stating this because there are some companies or government statutory board offices that discourages this. As such, couples must be aware what they have to do and go about in the office when they are having a relationship.

I do not think it is advisable to have an office relationship. It can really screw up your working life. Some companies have a certain policy against it. It's also potentially sexual harassment especially if one of you is the others boss.Also it goes without saying you shouldn't be commuting adultery in your work place.The last thing you want is someones irate spouse something into your job going postal.
