I think it depends on the type of business,if its not a huge professional envrionment and nobody has any pull or effect on the others job I see no problem in it.
for example I work in a bar and am considering dating a bartender,it wont effect my job so Im fine with it.
if it effects your work then I say dont shit where you eat.
btw this topic wouldnt have been inspired by all the uproar on this topic on the news would it?

No. You never know how the other party will react if things go bad. Also, how will your manager take it??
I keep my personal life and work life seperate (unless it involves bringing my SO, if he can make it, to a business affair). I walk through the door, my personal life remains outside and I pick it up when I leave. I'm there to build a career and make a name for myself. That is all.

Me no I don't shit where I eat. I was watching the news and it got me thinking is all.EnderJE said:

Bad idea.
but... there's an employees-only office party coming up soon. The tall hot model-ish redhead and the pouty hot librarian-ish brunette better both be married or i'll get myself in trouble. heehee.

its a tough situation all the way around. even if its good, when things are going well, you still deal with other employees showing interest to either party....they are the topic of many discussions and rumors....when it goes bad, it goes down hard and the situation lingers long after the incident has played itself out.
stats show that a large majority of people meet their SO's in the work environment....as mentioned above, i think it greatly depends on how CLOSE the other person is to your actual work...

You gotta ask yourself what's more important to you, and can you deal with the consequences.....whatever your answer you'll know soon if they're a good or bad idea. I myself would think it foolish to jeopardize my breadmaker for a piece'v ass. But that's what makes the whole things o appealing in the first place is the risk. 
If I was the top dog then sure, it'd be hella fun to bend some temp over my desk and give it to 'er overlooking the city lights at night. You've got to know where you stand first and how much you want to risk, are the main things to consider.

Ohhhh, i have experience here. Bad idea. Bad, bad, bad. Especially if you were dating someone who had the emotional maturity of a 4 year old.
Although mine eventually turned out well (after we were no longer working together), I would not do it again. It most likely was the precursor to ending three careers where we worked, either by compulsion or a desire to move to better circumstances. It definitely affected my productivity and my career ladder.

foobar said:I had one go bad... she was my clinic manager. She started and ended the relationship on her terms and I paid for it. A man cannot come out of that situation unscathed no matter what really happened.
That was THREE years ago. It still haunts me and my career.
*grumbly voice*: although the names and dates have been changed, the story you just heard actually happened, to protect the innocent, dumbfucksrus, do not disclose past personal affairs online b/c the 'walls have ears' *spooky*
sppoookkkkkyyyyy!!
appreciated best in lets do a Lewis Black voice tonight, picture him saying:
*...the bitch lied her ass off and I was told to rise above it, RISE ABOVE IT?.. And then AND THEN I left the situation to be nice BUT NO! and THEN theres only one side to the flapjack!! A flapjacks gotta have two sides, how ya gonna build a house of flapjacks without two sides, YOURE not DAMitNti itd fall down on the side, who the fuck doesnt respond to flapjackbuildings, she HATED THEM! She was a vegan so I thought Id be nice one morning..............

We seem to have a lot of these threads lately. Simple answer - not a good idea. Sure, you will have the occassional two people that end up getting married and it works out well, but that is rare. I was involved in an office affair once and it turned very ugly (of course). The broad swore that she was mature enough to handle it (yes, I am retarded for ever believing that) and of course, she couldn't. It ain't worth it. Plus, depending on your industry, rumors will follow you from job to job, especially if you are a chick.
