[quote=Anonymous]The problem with office romances is not the romances themselves. It's when the relationship results in other violations of workplace policies.

The problem is that people are idiots, basically. Some people can't figure out how to date someone at work without doing gross or idiotic things like having sex in the office, creating awkwardness with colleagues, saying or doing inappropriate things at work or on work travel, getting involved with married colleagues such that it becomes a distracting drama for all involved, and being unable to behave like mature adults if the relationship ends. Also yes, as a PP said, if one person becomes the other person's boss (especially if not disclosing the relationship in advance to prevent this from happening) there are a whole host of issues this can cause.

That's why it's discouraged. Not because there's anything inherently wrong with dating a peer at work -- it makes sense that relationships will pop up when you spend a lot of time with people. The problem is that most people have too little self control and no guiding sense of ethics and do stupid things that become a distraction or worse, thus ruining the workplace for others.[/quote]
