Office Romances
Author STEPHANIE LOSEE wrote an employee handbook for finding and managing romance on the job. Losee is imminently qualified; she has been married for 16 years to a man she met on the job. Among her observations: the odds of finding love at work are better than online, in a bar or at the gym. Think about it: Nearly half of us log over 50 hours at work and maybe you should use that to your advantage to do it right. Losee says work-based romances are more like courtships --they develop gradually over weeks and months. You actually get to know one another. Wow, what a concept. Her advice on how to do it:
--Join co-workers for happy hour
--Go to industry conventions and conferences
--Listen to colleagues who want to link you up with a co-worker
--Expand your network to friends' office
--Go job hunting

I would suggest that Ms. Losee's remarks in her publications fall short; it's all fine to acknowledge that there are some great people & possibly a potential mate at your workplace, BUT shouldn't a pre-requisite to starting an office romance be that the parties involved are otherwise UNMARRIED FIRST? And what Management classes advise that it's "okay" to sleep with the boss? I would also say that the two romantics' colleagues don't much like the suggestion of there being a chance for preferential treatment! K.Bajzer(Wife), Richfield
PS. I would echo that your local opinionator "Mildred" had it right......"he's your boss and not your friend" and her comment is right on..."everybodys watching and everybodys talkin!" K.Bajzer(Wife), Richfield
