What are the effects of office romance?

Before you jump off and ask your colleague for a date, remember that office romance is complicated and if gone wrong can affect your career and reputation. Here are some lows of having a relationship with a co-worker:

  • Office Gossip: In case your relationship is uncovered in ‘not so pleasant’ manner, there will be a min-scandal in the office. Your reputation as you know it would be tainted forever and you may also have to always deal with the whispers in the background.
  • Bad Vibes: In case your relationship doesn’t work and both of you have separated on a sour note, the work environment will be seriously affected. Because you would not like to face the person, you just broke up with; your work will suffer.
  • Career suffers: The way your relationship turns up also affects your career. If the management is not happy with the romantic link ups or if you have an ugly break up, you have to resign your position and face a career low.
  • Harassment charges: A relationship with a subordinate gone wrong may even lead to sexual harassment charges framed against you. You may have to justify your actions and show that the relationship was consensual.
