But I still hate to see a company policy stop 2 people from loving each other. The intelligent thing however would be for 1 person to quit the company and work in a different company.
- kpil 8y agoThe CEO dating someone is always sort of problematic, and relationships between people when someone reports directly to one of them should clearly be avoided, but forbidding relationships between employees in general seems unreasonable to me. I guess a reasonable company would have the policy "it depends" and make sure that each case is judged on it's own merits, and that no one would just get fired - in some cases just maybe offered a different position. I worked in one place where the wife of the CEO worked in a non-managerial role far from any top level management. Wasn't a problem, and she was the first to loose her job when they had to downsize. Totally unfair to her since she was a top performer, but that's the only way it could be handled I guess.
- gaius 8y agoI've seen it happen a couple of times - one a receptionist, the other a PA, made meteoric rises to Head of HR or Head of Project Management under 6 months after starting dating the CEO. No-one no matter how talented gets promoted that quickly on merit alone... And no-one takes the CEO seriously after it comes out either
- runamok 8y agoI can see it both ways. As a CEO you are literally everyone's boss but at the same time you probably work close to 100% at the time so your "tinder time" is going to be pretty lacking.
