I wouldn’t call them taboo necessarily. Many companies have specific policies on the subject to avoid disruption at work and to prevent favoritism within teams/departments. My now wife and I were hired at the same company and they knew we were engaged to be married. We worked together very well for about 6 years. My wife then moved on to a better role at another company and I have been climbing the ladder here. It can be done, with care.
This is great and I think the best case scenario. Did you work in the same office/department?
I personally wouldn’t do it. I’ve been there and done that. If the relationship goes south, it creates turmoil at the workplace. I ended up hooking up with the director of marketing girl for a few months, it went south and I ended up leaving. I learned a big lesson that day, and will likely never do it again. However, I’ve heard stories of people finding their wive/husbands at a firm but it’s the exception to the rule. I recommend not doing it. You can find plenty of fish outside the workplace, no need to take a risk.
I wouldn’t do it until I moved on to my next firm or they move on. You know the saying about “don’t sh-t where you eat.” I say don’t. But…it’s your life and your love life. YOLO
I met my husband at work. Sometimes it works out and you spend so much time at work, how do you meet people?? I think it depends on the maturity of both individuals and how to navigate the situation if it doesn’t work out. Good luck!
Thank you! Giving it a go.
I think it's a really bad idea. There can always be the appearance of favoritism, no matter how carefully things are handled. If if things go sideways, hoo boy, that's when it can get interesting. I witnessed that scenario at a previous place of employment and I never want to be anything more than a witness to the drama. In fact, I'd be fine not even knowing about it.
I’m not too worried about favoritism. We are in separate practice areas. I am a private person though and feel it’s inviting people into my personal life. Going for it with caution
