We Dated At Work... Was It Worth The Risk?

What happens when the person you fall for is also the person you work with? In this second episode of Say It Straight with TLC, Tonichi, Larah, and Claire talk about office romance from experience. They get honest about what it is like to date someone at work, especially when your relationship starts to overlap with your career. And if things end? You still have to see each other at work. We say it straight: • How working closely with someone can turn into something more • Why workplace hierarchy can change the dynamic • When office gossip starts affecting your professional reputation • How to set boundaries while supporting each other’s careers • Why one partner may need to leave the company for both careers to thrive • What happens when you break up but still have to work together • Why your relationship should add to your life without defining your career Because office romance is never just about the two people involved. 01:57 The Office Romance 07:04 Dating the Previous Boss 13:26 Work Reveals Your Partner 17:17 Competence Is Attractive 18:54 Strong Careers and Clear Boundaries 23:32 Perception Can Hurt Your Career 26:21 Her Career Was Her Own 27:34 When Relationship Affects Career 29:45 Escaping Office Gossip 30:55 Office Romance Needs Rules 34:03 Power Imbalance 36:02 Women's Reputations 37:27 Work With Your Ex 38:45 Wrapping Up Visit work.able: Website: https://workable.ph/ Facebook:   / workableph   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/work.able/?...
