Its pretty standard everywhere I've worked. One place, you couldn't be MARRIED to another employee on the same shift in the same department. Its those bubbly coo-coo couples who can't go 10 minutes without playing kissey-grabass that ruined it for everyone. Plus, couples have a habit of bringing their personal squabbles into work. I've seen it a dozen times, and its no fun to be around these folks when there's trouble in paradise.

That's called break time. Hey Julie, I was thinking about going for a smoke break, would you like to join me?...or do you want a quickie instead?

We're a big company and during the "training" classes, they actually mention that a lot of us do get together (as in marriage or close to it) throughout a long career. I guess it's good for teaming? Our local site's security officer is married to someone in the same dept (different job function). I don't think it's a big deal... but I personally wouldn't want to work with my gf/wife.

Marriage, etc. they can beef about. Who's to define 'dating'? It's essentially unenforceable, so just be discreet.

That is, if you have no compunction about fishing off the company pier.

What kind of a date could you have in the office anyway? Try a movie & dinner.

Alot of the idea behind these policies, is to protect the company from sexual harassment suits. By not allowing you to ask a co-worker out on a date, it reduces the chance of someone mistaking a harmless request for a sexual advance.

This might sound hypocritical since I met my wife at a previous job, but whether the company forbids interoffice dating or not, I don't think it's a good idea.

I work with a lot of younger people - for most of them, it's their first "real" job - and the aftermath of the (mostly) inevitable breakups causes a lot of problems on the job.

Guys in their mid-20s with good incomes are hitting on girls right out of school, the girls usually fall like mad and after a couple months the guys move on to another one. The girl ends up crying all day, calling and emailing her friends to discuss it, and it ends up hurting her performance review. Then Mary says she doesn't want to work with Bill, and who looks bad? It's ain't Bill!

If it's the guy who got dumped, he gets agitated when he has to interact with the "ex", and his work reputation suffers because he has trouble working with certain people. Usually girls at work form friendships and not only does he not want to be around the "ex", but he doesn't like to be around her work friends either.

No matter how discreet you are, people are going to find out. If the company doesn't allow it, they may not say anything to you, but it will be held against you anyway. You'll just never know it.

I'm guessing if you actually got fired for dating like that, if you were crafty with your story, you could sue the sh|t out of the company that fired you.

"No fishing from the company pier"

"Don't buy your meat where you make your bread"

It's all been said before.
