Not normally a good outcome if they stay in the same location.
OUTSIDE of the business, its ok Not allowed to be in business.
Dating coworkers should keep their relationship out of the office and private.
Ok as long as not in reporting structure
It's a recipe for disaster. Companies and individual employees are being held liable to a larger degree recently, for any unwanted attention that makes a fellow employee uncomfortable.
I get married twice with coworkers
It’s not a good idea
I wouldn’t try to stop it but it’s generally not positive for the culture. Worse if one has to be let go.
It is probably not a good idea, mainly due to the possibility of the relationship not working out. If it does not work out, you still have to see that person at your job and it could become awkward.
Fine, no pda in the workplace
Don't really care as long as it doesn't affect the workplace.
I don't have a problem with it as long as the relationship stays out of the office
Not a great idea in my opinion, but if they can keep their personal lives outside of work I don't have a problem with it. It's all about not losing productivity or creating an uncomfortable environment for others.
You can find love any where, but finding love in your work place gets the attention of other co workers. The bad side of it is that when things go wrong, your co workers may know from one of the those in relationship and your secrets will be known which is not too good.
Generally not a good idea to me personally, but I don’t care what other people do. It’s their business.
DONT DO IT ALWAYS KEEP PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS SEPARATE NEVER MIX IT WILL ALWAYS END BAD
I have no problems with coworkers dating.
Generally speaking it is bad practice to fish off the company pier. When the breakup occurs it could make for an uncomfortable situation. That being said a "hit it and quite it" scenario can work out pretty well as long as both people are clear that it's not a long term relationship.
Depends on the daters. Generally, the less professional experience you have, the less likely you’ll be able to pull it off.
Very bad idea on so many levels.
touchy subject - ok if not within the same department and in the office interactions are kept professional which of course is the challenging part
As long as it doesn't interfere with your work then it should not be an issue.
It's generally a bad idea as most people cannot handle that
Don't. Just don't do it. It rarely works out well in the long run.
It can get very tricky. If the relationship is kept outside of work then I don't care but if it impacts work or causes perception of favoritism then it can disrupt the whole work place
I was born in 1993, hence, a millennial. I believe that coworkers dating are common nowadays. I'm fine with it as long as it does not affect their productivity and maintain being professional when in the office.
As long as they keep things professional in the work place I don't mind, but if it starts to be a distraction and hinders them doing their jobs properly and creating a burden for someone else then I am against it.
Nothing against it, don’t let it interfere with work.
No problem with it as long as it doesn't affect work and working relationships.
Unless they're at the same position in the hierarchy, and in different departments, I'm totally opposed to it. Even if that case is met, I'm still opposed, but willing to be flexible depending on the situation.
Not really a good idea especially if they work the same hours and in the same department can and will cause problems
I think it's fine as long as one doesn't report to the other and their relationship doesn't carry over into the workplace.
As long as they don’t bring any drama into the workplace.
I frown on this. Too easy to cross the line into sexual harassment, especially if the two parties aren’t at EXACTLY the same level / have NO possibility power disparity. Even if the company allows it and has you sign papers stating consensual relations / waving rights, it’s not a good idea to date coworkers you encounter regularly. I’ve only met ONE couple who was adult enough to handle what happens after you break up. Bad blood causes tension, which leads to one or both parties being fired or leaving. This reflects negatively on the “survivor.” My advice: don’t do it.
It’s not a problem as long as one is not a subordinate of the other.
Don’t dip the pen in the company ink. If you do don’t be sneaky about it
It happens. I have seen it workout and lead to marriage and a great relationship. I have also seen it explode and make the work situation very messy. You can forbid human nature and desires but you can put limitations on it within the workplace.
