Is it worth it to pursue workplace romance?

[Ayanna240]

I have a huge crush on my supervisor. He knows it too. I was talking to another coworker who has been working my job for the past 22 years. She told me that in the past, she has known many couples who met at my job and got married. Actually some of these people are still working at the job. Their spouses quit and found work elsewhere. As many as 5 married people found their spouses at the job. Would it be worthy to pursue?

No never lol just because if something goes wrong and you can't be an adult about it did somebody has to go that's what sucks plus just too many hours together. And then you have rumors and this and that not unless you make it a point to say Hey look do you want to have a one-night stand that usually ends up with the two night at a 3 night at a for nightstand and so on

We have that going on at my company. Some have dated and married.

Most broke up, and someone had to leave because the rumors and stories fly after the breakup. Moral gets bad, people avoid troublesome people. If you get that reputation, your career is over at that company.

In a general way, not speaking to you, not speaking to your description either, in a broad way i would say: it's never worth it, and only ever slightly worth it, if one of you is leaving the job soon anyhow before or because of the relationship now forming. Otherwise it creates bitter colleagues. I should know 😥🤔 not a wise decision in my decision making. So yeah.

I mean it kinda depends on who your pursuing it with. If you and that other person aren't mature enough to handle a potential break up and work together after that. Then I'd say no especially if that other person is in a position of power above you or you are in the position of power. But if it's someone you generally got a good relationship with I'd say go for it juts look for res flags first before making anything to serious.

I would have to say NO!!! I met my first girlfriend through work, and when it went south after only eight weeks, I kept looking for any excuse I could to quit. In today's day and age, it is NOT worth finding out the hard way.

He has a lot at risk here, so one of you would need to quit your job. That's tricky. I would say, if you think this guy is the on you'd consider marrying, then pursue it. If it's just a crush... don't do it.

My wife and I both worked at the same place for a couple of years. We worked in different departments but knew a lot of the same people. It was sort of fun.

After the whole metoo fiasco I would kill that romance with fire & not even consider it.

Your boss would be a fool to date anyone from work. If you care at all about your job dating at work is a disastrous idea.
