What’s your personal rule for dating coworkers? Is it a hard no, or do you think it depends on the role and the dynamic? I’ve been catching feelings for someone on my team, we work different shifts, but we overlap enough that it’s noticeable. I don’t want to mess up the vibe or make things weird for the rest of the crew, but also… chemistry is real, and it’s kind of mutual. What would you do in this situation?

Go for it as long as they're not a superior or an underling. That's really the only time I've seen it cause problems - managers dating servers and so forth. Just be prepared for things to be awkward at work if the relationship crashes and burns. Clocking in and seeing your ex every day isn't a whole lot of fun.

Date ‘em, just don’t be messy about it. Restaurant crews are already one big HR violation away from imploding. As long as you keep it off the floor, live your life.

Yeah happens all the time. Just don’t make it public unless it becomes serious - and be prepared for one of you to quit if the relationship sours.

Did it once before.. It went south due to no fault of my own. Never again. Never mixing work and pleasure EVER again.

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?
