why not?
But I heard a lot of people saying it's unethical. I think it's no biggie, I mean, so what if you fall for your co-worker? Anybody has the right to,but then if that co-worker is married, that's a different story.
what's your say about this?

I agree with you if your saying falling for your co-worker is ok if they aren't married. I believe you can't help who you love. More power to you if you are both single. My manager and I were friends but we couldn't be together until I left the job. When I finished school we got together and we are getting married.

thanks for the response, i'm just wondering why you can't be together until you left the job. I think there is this hidden pride or embarassment having an affair with your superiors. Am I right? No offense but I think that is common, like I mentioned earlier, a colleague had an affair with one superior and this superior had to resign. Strange isn't it. good luck to you shernette and be Blessed!

It's perfectly normal to know a person who is your co-worker and eventually fall in love with this individual. After all, love is a natural feeling.
But I do seem to understand what you are trying to point out here. Locally, there are some companies or firms which discourage relationships with co-workers, single ones or otherwise. Sometimes when it couldn't be avoided, the department heads are tasked to confront the two employees who are in a relationship and tell them that one of them has to sacrifice being transferred to another branch of the company or worse, one has to resign from the firm.
In fact if I may share my own previous experience, my first and former boyfriend was with a fellow employee in a local financial institution. We belong to different departments but in the same branch. But it wasn't considered unethical because we're both single without kids. Even our firm's president knew of our relationship.
But just as you said, falling in love or having an affair with a married co-employee is totally a whole new story. This is the one considered unethical and unfair.

wait are you in love with a co-worker? Well if so and she married i really don't have no advice instead of being her friend or his. Look its alright to fall on love with a co-worker its nature but you can't if she/he is married. Unleast you want to be a cheating type. Sorry for that just don't really got an advise for you if there married.

I'm not really in love with my co-worker. It's just that, I saw some of my colleagues hooked up with another and then one of each couple would resign because it's not right. I just wondered why, I mean like I said it's no biggie, unless the other person is married. My friend said it's in the code of ethics, like a code of ethics of employees.
thanks for the response.
