I dont understand this debate. If ur working like a slogger, and u love ur work, where's the other person there???It's called non dual professonalism.

Office is office. office is not a place for romance.Romance may be induced during office working environment.thats is natural.People with maturity would extend it outside the office timings and office premises.respect office for the job we have come for.let romance may not interfere with the other employees liberty to work and should not impede the organisational fabric.Romance cannot be practiced inside office as it is not a place meant for it. Matured employees know where and how to behave in office. It is not hostile environment that it creates but it may cause a lot of distraction to others and the office work is definitely impaired.

In many companies I know, management terminates the employment of both the people concerned. It is the policy of the company not to entertain such things while working.

Yes, a hostile environment is created usually by third parties. As long as it does not affect anybody in the office, activities like romance, fight etc should be left to be sorted by the two people involved. If office romance is to be discouraged then so should office bullying, hatred, gossips etc. How different are these from office romance?

ha ha ha, quite an interesting topic. Yes, romance in office create an hostile environment. Please become less focused to their work always try to steal a chance to sit with her/his GF or BF. which makes employees less productive and careless. It is always advisable to keep such relations outta office.

Yes it can create a hostile environment should a relationship not work out. There have been professional relationships that have turned out lovely however there have also been professional relationships that have gone very ugly because the two persons were not compatible. In my opinion, it would be best if social relationships were not taken to an intimate level until one party has left their current professional career so it will not damaged the surroundings of the persons within the company, nor their image especially if he or she is of executive or senior management status (director, VP or above).

100% true, maintaining distance & a respect towards one another, that is the main thing which i feel is more imp. also can make them grow professionally and has a good impact on the followers too..

Yes! The hostility will arise in the office beause people around youy will start judging your judgement negatively. And it will finally affect your personal relationship, when you take a strong judgement that is not in tune with your partner. It is official harakirri.

Work is Worship, Work Place is "Sanctum Sanctorum"! Place of work is not one's bed room - would you allow an outsider deface your own house's front wall with obscene remarks! You may call these things as modern, western, etc., but you got to be serious and learn the civic sense! Sorry, if I have hurt anyone's feelings!

I think very hostile but i agree its nothing but just a few pleasantries or a few nice compliments just to keep the ball rolling. Office romance not an issue...But shouldn't affect other people and your work...Anything outside office premises is fine with everyone. By the way its a dangerous trap..People beware..

Yes it supports hostile environment . Its not romance but a fallacy as - my women readers should understand me - that women see a home away from home and fall into fixation into a newly found atmosphere but its only a mirage and short lived . Sooner one learns all the tricks of the trade she deserts the office and needless to say her short lived relationship . Men as a rule r chicken hearted and lose all their concentration and gets distracted in life even quitting the existing job cos of the concurrent remembrances . Men should strictly understand that in most of the cases its just a fallacy and should retain their composure.

Yes I agree with your arguments but though office romances create an hostile enviroment then also it become necessary and useful in todays generation to work with each other without any fear or black mailing because in earlier period or few years ago if any ladies staff speak more with gents then other people talk or put finger on that girl but today everybody want to have romance with each other and they can only work if office atmosphere is freely and working styles must be without any stress or tension

I don't believe that anyone can remain aloof from colleagues just because one wants to be "superworker". We're human beings, we have feelings about other people. Some we like, some we don't. Some we're impressed with, some we're not.

Romance is between two people who are attracted to each other. There is NO restriction on location. It has no limits. It can happen anywhere - why not in the office? And it can happen especially because both are working well and are impressed by each other. I personally know of quite a few such couples who ultimately formalized their emotional bond by adding the social bond of marriage. Now, if the persons involved are mature, the romance will be smooth success or a smooth failure - either way, it's going to be smooth. But when there's immaturity in either - get ready to change organizations.

If you can limit your desires within the office premises, then its fine and therefore no question of the environment turning hostile.But if you start openly displaying your desires, then man, you are in deep deep trouble. And I think any sensible couple would avoid doing that.

It only requires discipline and control. I actually know of 3 cases at least in my previous employment where the couple come to the factory gate together, punch in separately - ladies punch is seperate, and go their separate ways to separate departments. They do not even have lunch together. Each of them have their own lunch pack. They meet only in the evening after punch-out when one waits for the other if one of them is held up. No calls during the day except on business - office work, or emergency

what a question, "romance in office"! I dont support this statement, may be friendliness among the colleague irrespective of sex brings more meaning to it? but certainly office should not be the place for romance. Office is the organization with every level of age group. what level of age group should have the romance???

People who work in corporates know their limits. Also being a professional no one would mix romance with office work. More over there will lots of work that one needs to do in office than to spare time and indulge in romance. I feel office is not a place where romance can kindle so....

I disagree.Where is romance there is more free mind,more freshness which results extra energy to work fast and positive quality.Married couple have not need to use their communication instruments now and then.Others officials are also follow them.It is good thing for economy and work place.I advise to recruit couple in every firm to get higher benefit of work and peace.

I don't think so as it could be very helpful to the two person involved in it. As it create a comfortableness and result in healthy working life. But as supported by many others there are always boundaries to every event the way to the events those are behind doors.

No. It does not create hostile environment. We are creating that environment. Because many time i observe that when male-female talikng each together, we perceive that they are loving-liking each other and automatically it is convert from friend ship to Lover. So we are creating by word of mouth communication. Our thoughts are became romantic..
