Making Money With Your Honey: Is It A Good Idea To Work With Your Man?

6.  Will working together harm your employment in any way?

If you’re a fan of “The Office” you may be familiar with the staff’s hilarious dealings with Toby, the HR rep who was asked to create a “love contract” every time someone grabbed for a stapler at the same time.  Whether you’re casually seeing someone or meet the man you’re going to marry at work, it’s important to educate yourself on your organization’s policies when it comes to dating; in fact some companies seriously look down on office romances.  The tricky thing about on the clock courtships is that they easily get messy. Messy meaning in the event of a break up you still have to work closely with someone who makes you want to throw a stapler at every time you see them.  Things can get especially awkward when dating someone who supervises you in any way or is in charge of your performance review or promotion.  When it comes to dating a colleague, make sure there is no way that the romance for better or for worse could have your money looking funny.
