Workplace romances don't really matter unless triangles or other polygons are formed :) Hone wala tha, MBA chalu ho gaya toh baat aage badh nahi payi :(( Initially when relationship starts, u r glad and this shows in ur work....but as relationship becomes sour or there is a lean patch ....you cant get away with it in office because the person you dont wanna see is in the same office....then life sucks

If your team lead/Manager falls for your team mate, then forget about your appraisal :D Kuch raazon se parda nahi hataya karte ;) " I knew two of my colleagues who came in night shifts and engaged themselves in ""work"" in their cubicle. It helped that they had a corner cubicle to sit

Romance is Inevitable What Policy is Appropriate Clear and Well-Communicated Position Equal Treatment Investigate appropriately

THANK YOU!
