I'm writing a piece for a quality monthly woman's magazine on office affairs - including company 'love contract's', the law, your rights etc. I have interviewed one woman who was fired when an office affair went sour and I'm really looking for more experiences... Maybe someone who met their partner in the office - and after an initial period of secrecy or a rocky ride, they are now married/ with children? Or someone who regrets an office affair... Anyone with a story, please e me on moore_anna@btinternet.com
I met my dp at work, ten years ago, moved in together after 3 weeks, split up after 6 months, left company after another 8 months and now have three children and another on the way. We're in Bristol.
I met my DH while working in a Global Consulting Firm, where I was the HR Manager for Australia and New Zealand and he was a Manager level Consultant (later he made Partner). I checked with the Managing Partner and another Partner that I reported to that they would be OK with me dating him and gave them reassurances about maintaining confidentiality and professionalism. We were both good performers and they gave us their blessing.
A couple of years later, both the Partners came to our wedding and now 8 years later we have 2 kids and another on the way. We left the Firm about two years after marrying.
This was all in Oz, so might be outside the scope of your article, although the legal issues are pretty much the same. IME in HR the issues arise when relationships break down, rather than when they start up.
I met my dh when I was 16 and working in my part time job in sainsburys, I worked bakery he worked fruit and veg hardly a great romance story although 12 years later, married and 2 dd's
I met my OH at work - fancied him from across the desk etc, went out one night and got together now been together 10 years and have 2 kids and a rabbit!!!! All rather dull really!
