Has any one ever entered into a workplace relationship? How do you view those that are involved or revolve around the workplace. My job has a policy that you can date coworkers as long as they are not in your chain of command (i.e. manager and employee) However we are allowed to have family members in the same department working over one another. I feel in this situation there is no difference in the relationship and should either both be against policy or drop the policy altogether. Please let me know how you feel on this.

Nepotism should usually be limited as well. Meaning your relative should be working in another department because it could cause a conflict of interest with other co-workers. I became involved with co-worker and we kept it strictly business at work, we never held hands, kissed, or held each other affectionately at work. We didn't work together or for the same boss, but we use to take our breaks together and lunches too, but we kept it very professional. It was nice to be with the one you love at work, we both don't work together anymore, as he is retired and I moved on to a whole different job with another company, but we made it work when we did work together.

If you choose to have a workplace relationship I feel that is the way to handle it. Please don't think I am saying they are wrong, just unfortunatly most don't know how to handle the difference between business and pleasure. (Please excuse the expression)
