Now here's a short story.
A single and not unattractive young woman works for an organisation. A few months after joining the organisation, she meets a male colleage, a superior. Sparks fly, they decide to date and as many relationships go,irrespective of the environment,it ended not so long afteer. The young woman in question, has been labelled all sorts in the orgasnisation simply because she dated a co-worker. Now she's said to be loose and spoilt and what not.
I have heard these things happen. Indeed, many people have found partners in their places of work. Some have led to marriage and others have not, again, as is the case with any relationship.
Here's what gets me. Why does the woman get to bear all sorts of silly side talk and the man, no one notices him. How does one conclude that a woman is bad because she dated a co-worker, especially when the said relationship does not end in marriage? In reality, dating someone you have to see at home and at work, with other people looking on and waiting for the "outcome" (since they do not have lives of their own), can take its toll on a relationship.Not many people are able to handle this pressure. Bearing that in mind, is it wrong to date a colleage? Do you decide to not try with someone who you think may be good for you solely because you work together?
Personally, I think it's a personal decison that should take the same kind of thought and consideration it would when a boy meets a girl outside of work. It may not be an overly smart idea but then, who's to say what will be? It should not concern who ever else works in the organisation except the comapany has a rule against it. As for the simple minded folk who are bitter and dissatisfied with their own lives and have made it their duty to watch and wish others ill, well, they should probably spend more time fixing their lives and there just might be a chance of them being happy.
