From The Vault: Rules To An Office Romance
Posted in Relationships on 11. Dec, 2008
Scan the room, is Derrick at Tasha’s desk again? Is the married Tammy, sneaking off to lunch with the boss for the forth time this week? If your office is anything like the ones I used to work in then you’ve seen these things before. At one of my jobs things were so bad when it came to office dating that, this lady’s husband drove his truck into the back my manager’s Benz while he and the guy’s wife were enjoying lunch behind the building. Which leads me to think about the ethics of an office romance.
Finding a bust it baby at your office can be easy, with all the moral booster’s jobs like to put on, and not to mention the fact that you’re around that person for 40 hours a week. Yet, they always seem to end terrible so here are some rules to making it work.
Keep it on the low - Take a page from Rihanna and Chris Brown and keep the relationship under wraps. It’s okay for people to think or suspect there is a relationship, but once they know you’re an item they’ll be looking for every reason to break the two of you up.
May I have your attention please - Don’t draw too much attention to yourself. If you’re banging your manager don’t allow him or her to spend all of their time at your desk and vice versa. People are going to talk and when evaluations come around and you have to have a closed door meeting people will think you’re doing the nasty on the desk.
Benefits - Special treatment, yea an office relationship can have it’s benefits you get stuff from your lover’s dept quicker than most people or you get assigned the least stressful activities, but when you’re in the lunch room you get the side eye. So try to avoid accepting or requesting any special treatment.
Don’t Drink & Drive - When ever the office decided to have a holiday party, don’t drink too much. You know every year someone drinks too much and will provide the office with fodder for lunch breaks on Monday. So by watching how much you drink you can almost assure that the pictures of you blowing your boss under the table won’t make it rounds through microsoft outlook.
I have had an office romance before and that shit was for the birds. We got into something at the house and when we got to work we had so much tension towards each other we carried that shit to work. I dont think i will ever have another office romance
Never Shyt Where You Eat…
Very rarely does it work out and it's so uncomfortable after the fact…
On the rare occasion that things are goin good you then end up worrying about and fightin off all the broads that never gave a shyt about your “work boo” but are now all of a sudden interested cause you got him…
