thank you, but this worldview has little connection to reality. people date at work all the time. people date at work at Walmart all the time. if you want to date someone and either of you is in a position of power over the other, they move one of you to a different department. at another Walmart I worked at years ago, a CSM (cashier manager basically) wanted to date the general manager, so she had to quit, because there was no way to make that work while remaining ethical.
where does this idea you have that when you clock in for the day, you somehow shed your humanity and become a personality-less labor-husk, for the duration of the day, until clock-out time, come from? I have made tons of friends at work, both from doing work with them and shooting the shit in-between. this is how my wife-to-be and I met, by doing work together, chatting all the while, and realizing we shared a lot of values and that we should probably be dating. I have never been in a work environment where something like this was explicitly nor implicitly forbidden, because that would be an insane job for crazy people. your perspective is entirely foreign to me, and, judging by my above post's score, many other people as well.
- Maursault 5y agoPeople steal all the time. People murder, happens every single day. By your judgement, theft and murder is ok, because it happens all the time. This analogy neatly destroys your argument, because it doesn't matter how many people do something, the popularity of an activity does not determine if it is "ok." And refraining from romantic pursuit while working does not remotely remove one's humanity. It is simply maturity that permits restraint. In fact, humanity requires empathy. Try to empathize with someone who is trying to work. Let's say you're trying to work, and someone you must work closely with is making advances towards you and you're not interested. Does that make work a lot easier? Imagine the same situation, but your advances are not wanted... still have to work with them, but now it is going to be far less comfortable. If you can't see how insane it would be if everyone behaved this way, I just don't know how to persuade you that it is wrong. Because if it is wrong for everyone to behave this way, it is wrong for a single individual to behave this way.
- adamrezich 5y agothis is the most amusing trolling I've seen in a long time. I appreciate it.
- Maursault 5y agoAh, the rare and elusive straw man encapsulated ad hominem, the shameless final and ineffective defense of egoists, narcissists and misogynists everywhere, because everyone knows feigning being amused while falsely characterizing sound argument is an effective tactic, which it is if your goal is to fail to persuade by employing fallacy while simultaneously revealing deep anxiety. How's that for a troll? You're welcome.
