No, things don't "happen". People make them happen, and should own up to the consequences of their actions. If the policy is "don't", then you can choose to 1) do not, no matter how much you would like to; 2) move / leave so you can do freely; or 3) do and (if/when found) you get smacked in the face with the policy.
- lixtra 8y agoA lot of policies, contract clauses, and even laws exist only to be applied in certain situations, not rigerously. I can accept that google wants to avoid trouble at the work place and love dramas can cause trouble. And sexual harassment is already forbidden by law. But it is not automatically harassment when two consenting adults of different levels start a love affair mostly happening outside work. This is as much google’s business as what sex I prefer, what party I vote for or to which god I may pray - none. The protection against possible harassment does not justify to limit the freedom of adult citizens. For children the limits do make sense, though. When there is no harassment claim and no other disturbance of peace at work the state should protect me against overreaching policies.
