An office romance with a boss … Some take advantage of this situation in order to move up the career ladder as soon as possible, but many do not accept such a relationship. Who is right and what to do if your boss falls in love with you? There is simply no unequivocal answer to this question, but it is still worth following common sense.
Every woman has a natural desire to please, regardless of her age and marital status. Light flirting with a colleague, neighbor, or bystander will cheer you up. The realization that someone likes her, attracts attention, gives confidence, raises her tone and the woman just glows from the inside. But often excessive attention, especially in the work collective, especially from a superior colleague, creates a lot of problems … Or, on the contrary, opens up new horizons for development and improvement. Each situation is individual and which way to go for a woman, it is up to her to decide. And we will try to consider each scenario.
I'm a careerist
Young specialists who are not yet married are often very flattered by the attention of the boss, but only if the sympathy is mutual or the girl strives to get a promotion at any cost. Unfortunately, now many people take advantage of this situation and are not at all ashamed of this method of changing their financial status. Those who do not wish to follow this path can only be advised to make an attempt to "conduct peace negotiations" in order to stop courtship and protect themselves from the dissatisfaction of other colleagues, because this, as a rule, causes envy. If the sympathy is mutual, then the relationship is best not put on public display and the first time to keep everything secret.
I do not need it
In most cases, unfortunately, the boss's attention becomes annoying and unpleasant, courtship quickly turns into boorish harassment. This situation occurs among married women who just want to work, love their husband very much and value quiet family happiness. Peace negotiations often lead nowhere and an imminent dismissal follows, often scandalous and unpleasant. Many women prefer to surrender and leave "quietly", forgetting that the legal norms are on their side and it is possible to put the presumptuous boss in place by legal methods, without resorting to clarifying the relationship between the boss and her husband and humiliation.
And this might not have happened
It is important for those who join a new team to behave discreetly and modestly. We all remember the proverb "They meet by their clothes …" At least for the first couple of months, try not to attract undue attention to yourself, dress according to the dress code, do your duties and nothing more. This behavior will give you the opportunity to "look around" in the team, and your colleagues, including your boss, will appreciate you.
