Pros
& cons of office romances
OK
so you fancy the guy in the office and he
feels the same way but is an office romance
really a good idea? There are many issues
both positive and negative to consider before
engaging in office romances. Here are a few
to think about.
Pros
- You
will already know a bit about each other.
- You
don`t have to go looking for a date.
- You
get a free lift to and from work.
- You
can have sex in the store room and not
feel guilty.
Cons
- One
or both of you might get fired.
- You
will have to deal with office gossip --
which might cause problems if you are
trying to keep this quite.
- If
you fall out it can cause a bad atmosphere
in the office.
- Spending
to much time together may cause friction
in the relationship.
- You
may fall behind on your work.
- Because
you must usually keep office relationships
a secret, other employees may flirt with
your partner or vice-versa.
- Accusations
of favouritism.
- There
is always the fear of sexual harassment
if the relationship should end badly.
