You're dating someone at work and you breakup. What do you do?

One of you is probably going to have to find another job. That's the main reason why most companies frown on co-workers dating each other.

main reason why its sometimes not a good idea to date people from work.

[mobiusforniner]

I realize this. The question is hypothetical, because I'm trying to see how women and men react to this situation. It has happened to me. I kept doing my job as normal but she resigned.

Nothing would change.


Personal matters stay at home.

[mobiusforniner]

Would you be able to see them everyday and keep things professional?

[NotTacocaT6969]

As long as the breakup wasn’t over something like cheating, yes.

If it was, I’d be moving away, not returning to my job. Lol

[mobiusforniner]

Thank you, but why the difference? Most breakups aren't amicable.

[NotTacocaT6969]

With just a normal breakup, I wouldn’t have much emotion behind it.

But if we broke up because he cheated, I would probably be too angry even look at him.

[mobiusforniner]

Understood. So heavily involved emotions would dictate more permanent options.

[NotTacocaT6969]

Indeed.

Would be nice to them and respect their space.

First, you learn your lesson… you don’t fish off the company dock. Second, you are to keep it professional and cordial.

Cry for a day then move on.

This is why you don't date people at work.
