Is dating a coworker legal, or an HR violation at your agency? Wondering if this is something worth pursuing

I was at a place where a noticeable amount of people meet, dated, married, and both kept working there after. Surprised they didn’t have a chapel.

as long as you’re not their manager shouldn’t be a problem

It really depends on the company's policies. Some places have strict rules about dating coworkers, especially if it involves a direct reporting relationship. It’s worth checking your company's HR guidelines to see what’s allowed. If it’s not explicitly prohibited, just make sure to keep things professional!

Most places don’t have rules unless you’re a subordinate or their manager

I don't think it's an issue here as long as the relationship would be between equal-level employees. I think it becomes problematic if it's between a manager and a direct report. I don't think any of my coworkers have been romantically involved with each other during my time here, but who knows, maybe they're just really good at hiding it.

Mine’s the hours, which is not normally my issue. I billed 230 for June and July and am already at 145 for August. My ability to focus is getting worse by the day, so I’m working longer to bill the same hours and have had to pull a couple all nighters. I burst into tears this morning when a client changed plans and now wants a major project by end of month, on top of my other deadlines next week... I just want to sleep.

Went for a pre-employment drug test yesterday. They never asked me if I was on any medications. I had to ask them and was told "oh yeah, just put any you may think make a difference in this text box." I put Xanax, Flexeril, and gabapentin. All of which are prescribed and used as directed. Now I'm terrified that I should have put ALL my meds, to including my psych meds. I've been sober over 12 years and never touched drugs (just booze) but I'm having a full blown panic attack.

Hi! I have a very demanding role as a comms director, but still make time to volunteer on the side for some women's organizations I am proud to support. Lately though, the work has been piling up and it's almost as if I have two full-time gigs. I've brought this up as graciously as possible with the orgs, but sometimes I feel I'm being guilted into taking on more work. Best etiquette in this situation? I don't want to leave the roles despite the overwhelm.
