HR News » Office Romance? Why Not Try a Different Dating Pool?

David Letterman’s recent escapades and his subsequent blackmailer’s attempt have put a spotlight on the office romance. By no means am I passing judgment on the work hook-up, but it just seems to me an overall really bad idea that most likely doesn’t end well.

(As a therapist and wellness advocate, there are some “absolutely not” connections. Those involve abuse of power in a boss/subordinate relationship, sexual harassment and any behavior that makes co-workers feel very uncomfortable or even unsafe in the work environment. I won’t go into those here because most of you hopefully agree those are beyond uncool.)

Can’t you hear all those HR personnel scurrying around to get an official “Office Fraternization Policy & Guidelines” in place?

Well as a human being one has to think where he is and what for he is there? The day he gets the reply to it, this simple thoughts are eliminated. No policy can bind them but only professionalism. So, one has to be of high degree of professionalism.
