I wuold say that romantic relationships in the work place are good because they promote goodwill and determinatin for people to work effectively for e.g people when are involved in the work place they become happier and be proactive at all the times
ReplyDeleteI would like to agree with you when it comes to proactive and happily working environment but it's not good because some people they feel that everything will be done for the sake of saving the relationships, like you can't even afford to tell your partner to work or when she/ he is wrong because you being scared of hurting the other
DeleteSaloma you right when you say it seems like nowadays the right place to find our soulmate its in the work environment, because we get to know each other very well since while we spend lot of hours in same place so I don't get it when other organisations forbide that because we are human beings and we do have feelings of which sometimes no metter how hard we try to ignore them we can't.
ReplyDeleteI know that we have feeling that are hard to controll but the thing is what will happen if anything goes wrong in between the couples, their problems wont destract the work flow in the work environment?
DeleteThe policy that forbide romantic relationship must be dealt with, including everyone and a petition or survey research must be done to get each and everyone satisfied, because we have feelings and they can't be easily avoided. on my opnion I think getting involved with someone on the same level with you its the best.
ReplyDeleteLadies hold it there you wanna tell me you are in the work place for marriage"advertisment"?
DeleteThe policy its only protecting you guys against favouratism at the work and serious threats to your behaviour and performance as an employee.
DeleteThe policy it does not forbide relationships at work at all but it has terms and conditions
