Agreed. I've dated coworkers before at previous jobs. When we split, it was always awkward and uncomfortable :/

Not to mention coworker drama with favoritism, etc. I've seen it work, and I've seen it go way south lol

Oh yes.
It's just... less messy overall to keep that separate from work. Unless you're already married of course

My life is a dumpster fire that I keep fueling. But we were up front with the boss about it. If it gets serious, he quits. If not, he doesn't work a lot, so it's easy to work him on a separate shifts.

That's good you have a plan.

It probably wouldn't be possible if the boss wasn't also one of my best friends. Our workplace is pretty lax. Doesn't mean we still couldn't lose our jobs over it.

Sometimes everyone has a dumpster fire in their life that they gotta deal with. At least you do have a plan, and I guess as long as it's not against the rules at work to date a coworker... *shrug*
Edit: Just saw your previous post. :x

As a manager, I’ve had to fire someone over a workplace relationship that went south. They were fighting in store one night, one of two started cussing the other one out and walked out mid shift. That was 9 months ago and two still get into when they run into each other around town.
Just be careful with it, I wish you the best.

See, I went to my boss when the "relationship" (it was never official, I guess) went south and the guy started making threats against the company and against me. Otherwise, I simply didn't speak to him or really acknowledge him at work. It was fairly easy to do because we worked in different departments that didn't require us to interact. I woudln't care so much if we had just parted ways and that was it, but he is an unstable person and I didn't much care for worrying about him going postal on the place

That where you got lucky. I run a c-store and we only have one department. Kinda hard to separate them, even on different shifts when they would still have to deal with other in passing at shift change. Worest part was that the one I fired was a dam good clerk.

I couldn't see either me or him doing something like that. I'm a pretty lax person. I don't even get into it with my ex, he's just annoying.

This was a dealership, he was a tech and I was a part of the sales team. So it made it easy to avoid eachother lol.

I try to avoid dating co-workers for that reason but I’ve had significant others who've become involved with work either by getting hired on as a co-worker or by becoming a client. Even if we didn’t break up it was always uncomfortable. Even if you don’t give them special treatment everyone else thinks that you are and hates you both because of it. Best to avoid that crap altogether.

I don't like the way it's set up. I can't use it on desktop very well, and on my phone it doesn't work at all, and I don't feel like downloading the app just to view images from time to time.
I also question the utility of posting a lot of random pictures about a lot of random topics.
But to each their own.
