[quote=Anonymous]I'm not totally opposed to workplace romances but I will admit that the most awful, toxic workplace I've ever been in involved a ton of relationships between the staff and it was a huge problem. It makes people very unprofessional. Breakups also caused huge difficulties. And yes, people being in relationships and then getting promoted was an issue. In one case a woman was promoted and agreed to break up with the on-again, off-again person she would now be managing, but I don't think it mattered? Their prior relationship obviously impacted their working relationship and she continued to play favorites. There was another situation that was even worse, where two manager-level people had been dating before they came to work there, and then continued to date, but then broke up and both started dating other people in the company. Neither were direct supervisors to the people they were dating, but it was hella messy and uncomfortable and also fed an already overactive office gossip culture.

Just a nightmare. That was when I realized why some companies have anti-fraternization policies. But most place I've worked the relationships have been more minimal and people were able to be mature about it.[/quote]
