Depends if things could get awkward or not.
Also need the think about the impact if things do turn to shit on the other people you work with.
Bitching and grumping around ain't good for anyones morale, including those putting up with it around them. |

Depends, too many factors for a blanket yes or no.
It is more a case of the individuals involved, how they can handle the arrangement and whatever fallout there may be.
Generally though it is advised against for a reason since it is much harder to leave any conflict at the door during work hours. It will always worm its way in and cause chaos to the work force on some level if it exists. |

Well we all know each other from day 1 when the business opened. But I guess I will concentrate my efforts on Fab x |

So long as you don’t mind being the centre of workplace gossip, you crack on.
Also, if things go tits up and you’ve slept with numerous colleagues and it causes an issue in work - think carefully as it’ll be more likely you they’ll give the elbow to as you’re the common denominator. |

Depends on workplace policy TBF but I wouldn’t chose to fraternise with colleagues because if you’re almost on the 3rd you’re either ace or a dick and they will not keep quiet about either

I wouldn't have thought seeing numerous people in work was a good idea. Office politics can be a nightmare at the best of times.
Though it was work where me and M met each other. So it can work out. |

I wouldn't mix business with pleasure. I have worked too hard in my career to risk losing my professional reputation over sex with a colleague.
Don't get me wrong I can see how easy it would be to happen, and I do enjoy a cheeky flirt but I wouldn't cross the line.

"Is it bad to have sexual interactions with work colleagues?
Ive slept with 2 colleagues now and Im talking to a third. Is this bad? "
Does talking to them necessarily lead to sex? I've talked to all of my colleagues but I've got no intention of fucking them. |

Could lead to problems - it is crossing invisible boundaries especially if you have to work with them in a situation of conflict or disagreement.
I have seen it become an issue for a friend of mine. |

"My work have a no nooky policy for this exact reason, been too many implosions when things went bad  "
Mr KC joined the company I work for after I'd already been employed there about 6yrs and we'd been married 8  years. How would that work? Would he be barred from applying to work at your place if I already worked there? Not sure that'd stand up in a tribunal! |

It's not for me
My ex Mrs was also my boss
That didn't end well - personally or professionally
So, for me, colleagues are off the menu, no matter how hot they are |

"My customers keep trying it with me but I hold back because they are regulars, but I think if they don’t care why do I 
Are they actually trying it or just being friendly? "
No lol I’ve been told I could ride them like a horse I think it was just a little bit more than friendly and more but I just smile and keep it professional |

If you’re in a hierarchy it’s bad. You could be accused by them or others of treating someone favourably or unfairly because of a romantic relationship. Many contracts don’t allow it or you have to disclose it and then not work in any any way with to the person that could lead to this. Interestingly more young people believe large companies are right to forbid it and we specifically cover it in training for conflict of interest now
If your both non managers it’s not so bad other than seeing them everyday when it’s over and if/when you become a manager of the ex that dumped you  |

Long term relationships he has no issue with, flings where it could be messy not so much, it's only recently as we lost a good member of staff as the other couldn't keep it in his pants and it wasn't nice to be around when it went tits up.
The general rule in the company is no relations are allowed to work in the same store full stop anyway, nepotism and all that |

I'm a manager but I don't manage Mr KC or any direct line he's in. When he joined, we both had the same manager and she was on the interview panel (obviously I was not). They were well aware of how we were connected when he came to interview.
It's been brilliant actually. Although we're in different departments, his role supports mine so we work quite Close together often. Over summer, with student results, we were often huddled over the same computer working jointly. It's better fabulous to have a colleague at home whilst working from home too.
I often "call" the department he works in by shouting up the stairs |
