Description
Looking for love this Valentine’s Day? Many people are finding it at work. According to the Society for Human Resources Management, around a quarter of U.S. employees are romantically involved with someone at work right now, or have been in the past. But navigating a consensual office romance can be risky both emotionally and legally. We hear from people who’ve navigated romance on the job – from those first butterflies to post-breakup. Then, employment lawyer Joshua Goodbaum tells us why he thinks “people are really stupid when it comes to romance,” and walks us through the challenges of making sure your workplace love story doesn’t end up causing trouble for you, your romantic partner or your colleagues.
