I mean, the intimate kinds……
A few days ago, I found out that one female mentor advised a client that she should find a partner from among those she worked with, should she not get any other opportunity to get to know someone, somewhere else. This really surprised me. I’ve experienced similar situations that were happening around me, and I know that it’s not very easy and that these situations come with a lot of complications. To everyone…
I read somewhere, that loving relationships at the workplace bring zest, energy and emotion, as well as the motivation to perform better. I would add that they bring all of this to the two lovers. Often only temporarily. And what happens when the love disappears? Will these two be able to work together in peace? What about the other employees in this same environment?
The most dangerous is when a relationship between a subordinate and their superior arises. Others will start to notice right at the beginning of the relationship, which often goes unnoticed by the two lovers. Their colleagues will soon start to think something like “somebody here at work has advantages over me”, even when that might not actually be true. They will often talk about the relationship, pay attention to its development and they will not be able to fully devote themselves to their work. Even worse is when one of the partners in the relationship abuses the relationship to hurt other colleagues, who he/she doesn’t like or who he/she is competing with in the same career. The other partner, blinded to reality by love, sometimes doesn’t see what's going on and this becomes the cause of a lot of hurt. Often times the collective will start to fall apart.
Love is not on demand. And in the currently rushed days of today, I thank God for every beautiful feeling, for love. Although, when this happens at work, those in question should be prepared, that it might be necessary to sacrifice something.…Maybe, like needing to find employment elsewhere…
