Watch out for these!
If you’re having love at work and don’t want to get caught, be careful!
• Instead of talking face to face in private corners, prefer chat programs or e-mail. Unless, of course, your e-mails are not followed by your IT department!
• Become besties with the company’s most gossipy and gossipy types. For friendship’s sake, you can make sure they don’t tell anyone else, as they’ll likely be the first to find out.
• If you say “If I’m in love at work, let me have sex too”, be extra careful. Prefer outside working hours, don’t forget the security guards, cameras and cleaning staff.
• It’s not enough to just be mindful of your behavior at work, you should also choose the places you meet with care or control your hands in public places.
In our workplaces where most of our lives are spent, it is inevitable that electricity will arise between us and our colleagues from time to time. What matters is what happens next. What are we going to do, are we going to follow this excitement, or, “Is it different from work, is it different from love?” we will say.
Stages of love at work:
Stage 1: Flirting
• If you are going to have love at work, be sure, the most safe and enjoyable part is the dating part. That’s why many people prefer to keep that spark that started at work only during the dating phase, rather than taking the next step.
• Be prepared to fall into a caffeine coma; because you will have to go to buy tea and coffee all the time to meet him.
• If he smokes and you don’t, he who loves roses will bear the thorn. Cigarette breaks are ideal to advance the conversation.
• Monday syndrome is now far away from you, on the contrary, you will look forward to seeing it every Monday.
• If the flirting part is too long, it may cause unnecessary stress for you, be prepared. The important thing at this point is not to be stubborn because there will be a relationship and to let it happen.
Stage 2: Relationship
• You have stepped into the relationship, now it’s time to try not to let anyone know.
• While you can’t keep your hands and eyes away from each other at the beginning of the relationship, it will be difficult for you to have to, but think of the moment when you will be alone with this fire.
• In order not to make your lover jealous, you may not be as comfortable with your other colleagues as before.
• Likewise, his behavior towards other co-workers can make you jealous.
• Since you will spend more time together than even a married couple, extra effort is required to keep your relationship from becoming monotonous.
• Of course, not everything in the relationship stage is so negative. The fact that you will see him every day will make sure you rush to work.
• You can enjoy the peace of mind of having someone at work whom you know will not sell you on business matters and will not tell anyone about your business gossip.
Stage 3: Separation
• Unfortunately, you will not be able to sing the song “Please let me not see you somewhere, don’t come across me”.
• If it is not a serious separation, your reconciliation will be much easier and faster thanks to the environments you will meet.
• The pain of separation always lowers your motivation at work, but be prepared to be much more nervous when your ex is at that job.
• You don’t have to wait to meet somewhere to show him how good you are, that you are moving on with your life.
• If you can’t stand seeing him every day, you may have to change jobs.
Those who live in love at work tell!
“I was head over heels in love with my boss. I realized that the reason for this was his success and charisma at work only when I started to have a relationship. When I saw how boring a person he was in social life, I did not fall in love, but of course I liked the fact that there was a person who always protected and looked after me at work. Until I broke up with him… He ruined the job for me and I finally had to quit my job that I loved so much.”

“At the beginning of our relationship with my girlfriend, we said let’s do an office fantasy. After everyone had left, we went to the meeting room on the ground floor, closed the door, and began to rob each other in a feverish manner. What we could not calculate was that the mirrored glasses turn into the glass we know when the light is on inside and broadcast live from the inside. I realized that just as I was taking off my bra and making eye contact with the security guard in the garden.”

“When I met Görkem during my interview for the employee I would hire for my team, I asked him, ‘Why do you want to leave your current job?’ Although I ask questions like, ‘Do you want to have sex with me by sticking me to the wall or do you prefer the table?’ was. If I hired her, I would only get her for her looks, and that was unethical, but haven’t men been doing this for years? Yes, I hired Görkem, and he chose to fulfill my office fantasy with my secretary instead of me.”
