Not that I think work should be where people find relationships
Work relationships used to be not only completely normal, but expected and accepted.
I met my wife of 20 years at work. There were whole universities that had reputations as places where people went to get enough education to land an office job so they could find a spouse.
It is only in the last ten years it so that work relationships have become taboo, as HR departments seem to completely eliminate the risk of inappropriate relationships caused by a minuscule minority of bad bosses and the accompanying legal and financial response from eager lawyers.
- mcculley 4y agoI am only 50. I have only been legally working for 34 years. I have been advised by HR at various companies to avoid relationships with coworkers for more than "the last ten years". While I find the notion of "inappropriate relationships" amusing and only really serving the interests of employers, I still consider it all-advised to have sex with coworkers. This really only matters where people have power or have a career to think about. People with low-accountability roles need not worry about it. Regardless, I encourage single people to look outside of the workplace. My own experience is that there is more than "a minuscule minority of bad bosses" that lead to problems.
