"Conventional wisdom holds that colleagues shouldn’t get too close, but the changing nature of the workplace is throwing traditional human resources manuals out the window."
I hate it when people just make up stuff. "They say that cucumbers were once used as weapons".
- pluma 10y ago> Conventional wisdom holds that colleagues shouldn’t get too close AKA ridiculous draconian employment contracts that are illegal in many other countries.
- Traubenfuchs 10y agoIt's not that far fetched: I once worked for one of the biggest banks in my country and when the branch manager and a random employee made their relationship public the lower employee was put in another branch.

- mathattack 10y agoIt depends on the nature of the company. In some situations (ie. corporate turnarounds) it can be hard to make tough decisions if you're overly concerned about the personal feelings attached to each decision. This can create paralysis. It's also very hard to fire people in situations when everyone is buddy/buddy.
