It depends on how closely you work together and how much you trust each other to be discreet and professional at work, especially if the relationship ends with both of you still working there. Manager-employee relationships are almost always prohibited and a terrible idea even if technically permissible. Same department, different levels but not in each other’s chain of command is usually okay with HR but could get weird. Same level coworkers in the same department might be fine if you don’t work together on a regular basis. If you’re in totally different job functions and rarely work together, you’re good.

My current company hired an employee’s spouse last year, and it’s not an issue at work. They work in different departments, and there’s little chance that they would ever be organized into the same team. They participated in the same working group for a specific project once and that was fine.

Hi, I am a single-parent with a 9 year old daughter. Is anyone else dealing with same gender sleepovers with sexual exploration occurring?

To top it off they start trying to tell me they are laughing because they are reading “belly laugh books for kids”. Help.

In an increasingly hybrid/remote working culture, how do you educate and convince your business stakeholders to not do info overloads with emails?

Hi! First time working with a larger company - suggestions on handling pronouns at work?

I’ve worked with smaller agencies where it was easier to bring up. Now I’m on a larger team, talking to/referencing people I’ve never met. I’m less concerned about my own pronouns and more concerned about how to make sure I’m using the correct pronouns for the people I work with.

I’ve been structuring sentences to avoid gender specific pronouns but would love to hear suggestions. Thanks!
