4. Treating Your Workplace Like A Dating Pool
Depending on your job, it’s entirely possible that dating coworkers, colleagues, or supervisors is actually against your company’s policy; it might not necessarily be, but it’ll be worth researching before you go head over heels for your cubicle neighbor. But although it’s tempting to see your workplace as a place to “meet new people,” especially because your coworkers are likely the folks you’ll see the most, dating at work can be tricky.
Over at QuickBase, Alison Green of Ask A Manager details a few things you may not realize you’ll have to consider if you date a coworker; for example, not only will your boss likely worry about how your status as a couple is affecting the overall workplace, but moreover, your SO’s problems at work will become your problems, too — even if they shouldn’t be. And of course, navigating a breakup is even more difficult when you’re seeing each other at work every day.
This isn’t to say that dating at work can’t be done; however, you’ll definitely want to think about it carefully before you do it.
5. Posting About Your Job On Social Media
Just don’t do it. While complaining about the 400 pages of reading you have to do for class probably won’t have any repercussions at school, complaining about your workplace could cost you your job. So just… don’t.
