Workplace Romance Tips The
Best
Inter-Office Memo To Remember
For most young career people, they find spending nearly 35% of
their time at the workplace than at their respective homes.
That accounts to almost 9 hours of work, work, and work.
For this reason, most of the people involved in this kind of
situation find themselves out of place in the social world
because they simply do not have time to meet other people
anymore. In fact, they do not even have time for
themselves.
That is why it is not such an appalling revelation when some
surveys showed how 67.8% of the respondents, all working but in
different companies, are into relationship with their
colleagues. This goes to show that because of the time
constraint that most professionals have and because of the lack
of sociable time that they need, most of them divert to the
aspect of getting a romantic partner in the office instead.
Most of those who are involved in this kind of relationship
contend that their workplace seemed to be a natural breeding
ground for romantic couples since they are together for more
than 40 hours within the week.
Also, they asserted that creating a relationship in the office
is inevitable because most of them get along with each other
well based on the premise that they revolve around the same
environment that initiates common interests, beliefs, and
backgrounds.
However, because of some professional etiquette around the
office, some companies despise the idea of having their
employees being involved with each other. The bosses believe
that romantic and intimate relationships may bring about
negligence on their respective jobs.
Moreover, certain flaws are seen on this kind of relationship.
There is a higher probability that the couple might have a
conflict of concern with regards to their respective duties in
the office and their duties and responsibilities with each
other.
Therefore, for those who cannot help but fall in love while
doing monthly inventories, here is a list of some workplace
romance tips to keep you out of the brink of disaster:
1. Think first before deciding
Before deciding on this matter, it would be better to think
first, probably a hundred…no make that a thousand times before
deciding on it.
Try to contemplate on the possible consequences and benefits
that you can get from the relationship. If the relationship
will not work out, will you be ready to face the
consequences?
2. Evaluate each prospect
Establishing a worthwhile relationship with your colleagues
should primarily be based on its being worthy for a date.
It would be better if you will evaluate on the upshots of
dating the person based on his or her position in the company,
its value, and the possible corollaries of the separation, if
ever.
For instance, if you want to ask your colleague on a date, try
to contemplate first on the issue of rivalry between you and
your officemate and the rough situation that both of you may be
in after the breakup.
Also, try to look the possible angle of biasness for bosses
dating their subordinates. The issue of “favoritism” may take
place.
3. Be smart
Keep in mind that the reason why God placed our minds above our
hearts is for the mind to rule above all. So if you are
suddenly being snooped with some seniority in the office, do
not be deceived yet. Try to test this person for some
reliability quizzes and put him more on hot water.
The point here is that if ever he is trying to establish a good
romantic relationship with you, it is better to be assured that
his intentions are for real and just because he is looking for
some diversion in the office.
4. Friendships as the best foundation
For a budding romantic relationship in the office, it is best
to keep focused on creating friendships first. This is because
some people believed that friendship, as the core foundation of
any relationship, is better than just a break-from-work relationship.
Given all that, workplace romance can be really fun and dreamy.
However, one or both of them should realize that office
romances are not based on a contract that can expires when the
time allotted has elapsed. It would be better to hear these
kinds of relationships to last a lifetime, even if both of them
have already retired from their jobs.
