This new published on February 29, talks about office romance which is not surprising considering how much time we spend at work these days. Nearly 40% of workers in the US have dated a colleague at some point in their career, and one-third of those relationships end in marriage.In Germany, the numbers are even higher where 60% of workers admit having been involved with a colleague, intead in Japan, the numbers are much lower.
One third of workers who have had an office romance kept their relationship a secret at work, according to the CareerBuilder survey. "Whether or not you choose to keep it a secret, it is important to be discreet, professional and treat each other as colleagues at the office, and not as romantic partners," said Chicago-based Rosemary Haefner.
"While work might be the place you met your true love, the business day is the time to work on work not on your relationship."
Transferring is one option. "If you fall in love, think seriously about transferring to a different department or even another company," she said. "Don’t damage your own career, that of your mentor and colleagues in the process." Also a big problem is if you broke up, there are people who are on an emotional roller coaster because of office romance heartbreak.
PERSONAL OPINION:
I think that i'ts natural on totally posible to fall in love at work, but for me everyone is free to chose if they want to do it public or not. However, if some day it happened to me the worst will be the break up. Some people become depressed and physically absent because they couldn’t face seeing the person they had broken up with at work. For me it isn't something bad but we should Assure that will not affect our performance at work, and try to have a professionally relationship.
VOABULARY:
Emotional roller coaster
