Today, it finally became clear to me that before you start dating a co-worker, it's best to figure out who they've already dated from work, just in case one of her exes is your new manager. FML

Or you just don't date co-workers at all.

Dating coworkers is against a lot of company's policies for a reason.

How did this receive so many people agreeing your life sucks. YDI for creating your own situation. Work exists to make money, not for friends and relationships. Hopefully your boss just gives you a high five and whispers subtly to you, "First."

Um, you do realize that can get you fired, right? All of jobs have had me sign a paper that says I can and will be fired if I date a co-worker. You kinda deserve it...

Why would you date a coworker? It gets too awkward!!!

I wish people weren't so petty. If you break up with someone, they can date whoever they want!!!! UGH. It's not like you own that person.

Dude! Don't shit where you eat.

I have seen the quote "don't shit where you eat" 5+ times..and it's kinda hard to resist dating coworkers we are just a bunch of sexy people XD

Hence the term: "Never dip your pen in company ink"...it's NEVER a good idea to date a co-worker.

It's pathetic how people get so freaked out when their ex starts dating someone new :/

Don't mix work with pleasure. It never pans out well.
