So . . . relationships with coworkers?
- Thread starter bjanga
- Start date
Dont crap where you eat.
Update your resume , your going to need it .
I dunno...Myself and Caitlin have worked at three of the same places without problems. Then again, we live together and get along pretty ****ing well, sooo...
I don't know if I'd get into a relationship with someone at work if your place of employment has under 5-10 people, or if you're liable to be working in close quarters with the person for the duration of your employment. Things could get messy if things in the relationship get messy, y'know?

Bad idea, unless it works out for the long run... good luck
how old and where do you work?
that can be a world of difference.
if its an informal work enviroment and you are under 21, and you are not her boss, or like my friend´s grandpa used to say "dont put your peepee in the payroll" i dont see the problem.

NOOOOOOOOO!!! Is all I can say. I have been at my job a mear month and already I am seeing the after effects of the dating the co-worker.
Never listened to Leykis 101, have you?bjanga said:
Atta boy, that's exactly what you should do!! Make sure to post a ride report.bjanga said:
If you have to directly interact with the person on a regular basis, it's a bad idea.
If you don't, and the company doesn't have any policies against it, go for it. Keep it low-key at work, though, nothing's worse than a couple of coworkers smooching in the hallway

18? wtf - you should have no restrictions, just have fun!!
at the job I had when I was 18, I dated or "had fun" with at least 5 of my coworkers

That's how I met the mrs. We were coworkers and she had candy at her desk. She knew what she was doing...
But of course, I work at place with more than a few employees so this kind of thing happened quite often.

I met BV at work. We had a good time there... :evil: And no, you can't keep it quiet; people talk.

Yup, I did this once - it only ends up with sex during lunch - sneaking into the bathroom for a quickie - then people talking about you - then a fight - then looking for another job.
have fun in the beginning
If you're that young, you've got nothign holding you to anything. Go for it, have fun, but be respectful of the other people in the office.
If you were older and on a clear line for a high-level job, I might rethink it, but that's not the case for you.

You're 18? What you have is a job, not a career. Have fun with your coworkers.
so how was the janitors closet ?antimony said:
People talk? You mean girls talk. Unless your office is full of guys that are limp dicked bitches they won't give two sh*ts about all the office drama that is going around.antimony said:
Go ahead and date the co-worker. Besides, its not like there is a shortage of jobs out there.
I didn't have a key to the janitor's closet.splat said:
I did have a key to my manager's office, though.
Actually, no... I meant people talk. It was a fairly small town and, while girls may be more apt to gossip, both guys and girls talked about things. And anyway, it doesn't matter which sex does the talking, the point is that both sexes do the listening, so both male and female coworkers will find out.Polandspring88 said:
You are probably right. I'm just jaded from previous experiences.antimony said:
I could sure use one of those...binary visions said:
how do you guys feel it will cost you your job?
And how many of your co-workers took 'candy' from her desk before you? :devil::devil::devil:dogwonder said:
And yeah, if you're young, go for it. You've got plenty of time later in life to be boring and not take chances.
I don't see how you could get fired for it (unless your company has some policy written against it), but if things don't work out, it can cause enough tension to make one/both of you WANT to leave.manhattanprjkt83 said:
gotcha, i am in this boat right now...jacksonpt said:
Going pretty good. I think our company is based on their employees dating...
I'd say about 15-20% of our company is dating each other...
There are a thousand ways it could go down. What if you break up with her and she turns out to have some stalker tendancies? What if she's a psycho and decides to scream harassment? What if one of you is really into the other one, and just can't be around them all the time after it's over?manhattanprjkt83 said:
There are lots of ways relationships can end. Often times, if everyone is mature and respectful, things will be fine afterwards. However, losing your job over it is a very real possibility if two people work in direct contact on a regular basis.
I was going out with her before I was working with her, if that makes a difference.bjanga said:

I dated a girl at a large company I used to work at. When things went south she filed a sexual harrassment claim against me trying to get me fired. It didn't work, but I did get reaasigned to another position, which was actually a good thing as it led to my current career. The attempted restraining order that followed a few months later was no fun ( that was denied too )
sounds like she Couldn't Understand Normal Thinking to me....
yeah seriously, i dont know why anyone would even think of this...ridetoofast said:
