Default Couple in the same company & department

Have you ever been told in your company, whether existing or previous ones, that a couple cannot be working in the same company, and perhaps even in the same department? Well, the reason is simple: Conflict of Interest... Worse when one of them is the immediate supervisor of the other one.

What if... You were not a couple when you join the company, but went on to become a couple, and are caught in the same situation (same company, same department). What will you and your bf/gf do?

Usually, they will break up one. Or maybe one will quit or leave.

I had seen most couples or one leaving the companies as they can't stand the special attention that is given to them.

Most companies have policy on office romance. They either fown on them or try to separate them due to conflict of interest on each party.

different dept where you guys have no work relations is ok i guess. as long as you dun report to him, or deal with him in terms of work.

LOL~ you're such a good boss.

but what if the couple is professional superficially, but behind everyone or under the table, they're doing something else? i mean... who knows right?

wah, bring children to work? then the rest wouldn't be disturbed meh? i remember one of my colleagues ever did that, and end up, my colleagues were playing with the kids rather than working... to make matters worse, the kids started running and playing around... wouldn't that be a disturbance to their work?

Default Re: Couple in the same company & department

My previous company have this - Most of the people have surname, Neo, and are relatives or distance relatives working together with couples in the company.

Every morning they will argue over water heater container, newspaper, printer, printing on recycled paper, practically everything.

Too much wars in that company, so I leave.
