It's honestly hard to tell sometimes. People are emotionally complex, and life is messy. But there is a reason office romances typically have HR rules in a lot of companies.
- biafra 10y agoWhat? There are workplace rules for romances? Is that legal? I have never heard about that. Are they in the contract? Or the house rules? What are they covering?
- MollyR 10y agoYea, my HR department has it in our contract. My last place had it so no couples were allowed in the same department.
- biafra 10y agoInteresting. - What happens if people become couples that are in the same department? - Is one of them send to a differrent department? - Is one of them fired? - Is it ignored until it becomes a problem? - Do they have to announce it? If so at which point? The first date? The first kiss? When they have sex? - What if they keep it a secret? So many questions! I am certain this would be illegal or void in Germany.
- MollyR 10y agoSorry don't have any answers, but I will say I met my husband at my last job, but I moved on to a new job to avoid the hr issues as he was the Team Lead. It's actually why I find some of the advice from the other female engineers so troubling. Our relationship attraction first started when he took me for coffee break, to see how I was doing after my 6 month probationary period ended.
