Rule 53. Date with Caution

There are those who say that you should never date anyone you work with, on the grounds that it can cause resentment, stress, jealousy, distraction, frustration, and generally damage your work and your reputation. If not when things are going well, then certainly when the relationship is in trouble or finishes.

To some extent I agree with this, and certainly there’s no excuse for falling into the bad behavior trap at the office party. If you can’t resist getting it together with that tasty colleague from accounts while photocopying your bottoms, best skip the party. At least if you ever want to be taken seriously as a Rules Player.
