relationship with your boss Oct 07, 2006
Anyone here has slept with their boss, still sleeping with their boss or smart enough to choose not to shit and eat in the same place, even if there is a passion for each other?

First rule of working: never sleep with the boss (must be of the opposite sex, mind you) and also, never have a relatuionship with another person from your Company.

interesting how so many ppl share this view, still maybe the majority of relationships start at the workplace.

im still waiting for the residence visa. obviously these things take time. but i went to etisalat and asked around so they said 3-5 days. BUT, i just heard it from too many ppl that they waited over a month for it, to trully believe they would show up in only a few days.

Office relationships are quite common nowadays. As long as both parties are single and available, i don't really see a harm to that... only if there is no conflict of interest where work is concerned.

And what then happens when the relationship "goes South"? There is nothing worse than a spurned lover, even more so if you both work in the same office, and doubly so if it happens to be the boss.

I don't care what you say, even if both parties say that there will be no commitment and enter it free and willingly, there always is something that develops between them, more so in perhaps one party than the other.

Stay away from it, its easier.

Yes, there are however, exceptions.

i dated one girl during my first job. Turned sour and was extremely difficult working with her as she obviously held a grudge.

Reality Check - shall never do so again!

Agree with this one. It'll create chaos and uncomfortable working ambiance, methinks.

my boss proposed to me few months back. i didn't agree to his proposal and so he hated me, and giving me a hard time at work. huhh! though we're both single. how unprofessional and unethical it is to propose to your subordinate..u know what i did? i blackmailed him. hahaha.. and so he stop giving me a hard time at work. it's kinda difficult to be an exec, boss might fall in love with you huh..it happened to me.

never again. If he cheats on you, everybody at works gossips about it. Its better to have someone not from work. no one knows about the relationship, so no gossip. less headache.

Do you mean marriage proposal? or some indecent proposal? or just be my gf kinda proposal?

glad that after blackmailed him, things appeared to be better. but would that incident make you want to change your job?

marriage proposal Oct 09, 2006
i mean it's marriage proposal, would you believe that? i was kinda shocked about it and very upset. of course i want to leave the company, and im looking for work now. it's my first job as an executive secretary and kinda traumatic one. good thing, no one knows about it in the office as i dont share such things..maybe that's why i am good at being executive secretary because i can handle very very confidential matters. i blackmailed because that's the only thing i can do to stop him and before it will go to harassment. but he's still in love with me huh!!!..i hope i can get out of here ASAP.

Is he the biggest boss in the company or he has a boss above him? On my previoius job I had a problem with my boss but he had a boss as well. I talked to him about what was going on and after that conversation my boss was afraid to tell me even "Hello" for a couple of weeks.
