Not asking for a friend 😂

Letting HR know about it has nothing to do with the “era of Me Too”. You should tell HR for independence issues both to your clients and internally

Yes - I feel like it happens all the time

Yeah, people generally go undercover until things get pretty serious. When you two are actually in a relationship, let HR know.

What on earth does the Era of me too even mean. Me too means creeps don't get to get away with being creeps anymore. Are you a creep? No? Then life continues on as normal.

In audit- yes, if they weren’t on my team/client. In tax- absolutely hell nah, there’s no escape.

Date or tap? 😄

Sure, but always pull out

What does an “actual relationship” mean? If you are friends with benefits and at different levels - people team needs to know. If you have gone on a date - HR doesn’t need to know. A couple of dates - HR needs to know

likefunny

Done it. If it’s not too serious let your managers know. Once you are on a more serious track (however you define that) let HR know.

like

Different level creates issues - People Team needs to know ASAP - definitely can be managed

Do it. Nothing taboo about it, just make sure you let HR know in the era of MeToo.

like

Same level - no issue and very common in the industry

like

Why does anyone need to know yet? Don’t even know if feelings are reciprocated yet.

like

So different level raises more issues? But can be managed right?

like

But still same as what EY1 said? Inform when there’s an actual relationship?

like

I'd inform earlier of "it's serious" or "we're on the same audit team"

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc
