Some people ask and wonder, do you feel like getting up and going to work on a Monday? No, right? But what if you have a crush or serious relationship with your officemate then what would be your answer? In that case, even Mondays look as beautiful as weekends and you look forward to going to work. But, sometimes as wonderful as it sounds, it is not a good idea and it may not only affect your relationship status but also your career. Let’s take a look.
Distractions
Office romance will be a great distraction to your career while you are dating, you’ll be distracted as that person will be around you all the time. This will affect your work especially if you are seeking a promotion. You might start taking long lunch breaks or coffee breaks which will hence slack your performance. The company has hired you to show your performance and not to show affection during office hours.
Breaking up is hard
If one person wants to end the relationship and the other doesn’t then it would be very difficult for both of you to concentrate on your work. If somehow both the people agreed to break up still they are afraid of it ruining their working relationship. If you bite the bullet and break up then it may go harder to get over and will have to see your ex and work with him or her every day. Sometimes it will be very awkward and uncomfortable.
Rumors and gossips
If someone is in a relationship or is dating someone with an office-mate it will never stay between two people the whole office will get to know about the two. No matter how hard they try to hide it and be discreet about it but your office-mates will find that you dating someone in the office. After knowing your relationship status the rumors and gossip about your relationship will not stop and they will stick their nose into someone else life. No wonder it might just surprise you one day that even your boss knows about it and started teasing you at work.
Jealousy
Jealousy occurs between the two persons when they are afraid to lose an important relationship or someone special. The jealousy starts when your guy is working overtime with the cute new girl or your girl is working overtime with the handsome new boy. This is going to wreak havoc with your love life. It can also lead to affect your professional relationships with colleagues and will also strain your working relationship.
No chance to miss each other
The best thing about an office romance is there is no chance to miss each other as you will spend all your time together. At starting you might find it great and may not be an issue in the first flushes of romance but at some point in life everyone needs space in a relationship and at last it will eventually get on your nerves.
