Is it good to mix business with pleasure?

Question Category: 
Workplace Relationships

I enjoy my secretary's company a little too much. Is that good for the business?

You little rascal Chris. I knew you were sporty and you sound like you have taken it to another level. Frankly, the answer to your question is no. It can't be done. Once the fun and games are over which they will be in due course it's difficult to pick up on the business theme again and it would make life awkward.

Never a good idea, especially in the type of role you are in.  I work in HR and had to deal with a relationship

that has failed.  The secretary actually made a complaint of sexual harassment because he broke off the

relationship.

Don't shop at the company store. Don't poop in your own backyard. Don't eat where you poop.

There's a reason there are so many euphamisms for it - many have been there and struck the iceberg.

That being said, if you've found someone you love and it's mutual then don't let something silly like work get in the way. There's always more jobs.

Yes it is very good to mix business with pleasure - laughter, jokes and fun. Business should be so!

No it is not a good idea to have a relationship with your secretary!!

To clarify David's remark, it's not a good idea to have an initimate relationship with your secretary. Work might be difficult if you had no relationship :-D

Be mindful of your secretary if things go pear shaped invariably the woman in the 'lesser' role will come off the worst sometimes losing their job.

That's spooky, my secretary is pear shaped. i wonder how you knew that. She's ripe for picking too.

I once had a friend who was involved with her boss. She enjoyed it immensely for the first few months but the

n the problems started and she began to feel resentful towards him. He gave her the brush off and she then

felt vulnerable in her job which was not a great position to be in. She ended up leaving the company because

she couldn't handle the mental torment and it did cause her to have a bit of a breakdown. My advice would

be not to have the relationship but then if you've started, there's not much you can do about it. Best of luck

to the woman in your life. Treat her well.

Hope the secretary is someone you trust and love. And hope it stays that way.
