Telling people not to form personal relationships among the group that they spend most of their waking life with has a long history of failure. That doesn't me

That doesn't mean not to say it, but don't be surprised when it happens anyway. Sometimes people don't make the "rational" decision, or don't value their job enough to put the workplace's priorities above their own.
- bitL 8y agoIt's super risky. There is so much power play around, some execs are sex-starved, used by their subordinates or peers that want a promotion or using their subordinates ("or else") etc. Just way too many problems - they should prescribe mandatory self-restraint training or take them twice a year to some party island to steam off. Or form alliances with neighboring companies and encourage dating between them or whatever. Some HR can figure it out surely, so there is at least some benefit for having them instead of just containing damage all the time.
