Did a coworker turn you down? If you work at one of these companies, you can't ask them out again
“You can only ask another employee on a date once, and it can’t be someone in your chain of management, so not your boss or someone on your team,” an Airbnb employee told MarketWatch, referring to training he received at the company’s San Francisco headquarters. Airbnb is readying itself for an IPO and is likely trying to avoid the sexual harassment scandals that have plagued other tech startups like Uber.
There’s another reason why companies want to stamp out rampant dating among employees: Sexual-harassment suits are expensive. Settlements, lost productivity, and turnover from these cases cost about $6 million annually per Fortune 500 company, a 2005 study found. Brantner thinks bans are impractical and can actually exacerbate the problems that dating at work can present. “If there’s a ban, people don’t follow the rule,” she said. “They just hide it, and then it becomes a problem.”
‘We ask you to inform us if you are engaging in a romantic relationship with a manager or subordinate to avoid any potential conflicts of interest and ensure that all employees feel comfortable in the workplace.’ Tinder spokeswoman Challenger has observed more widespread restrictions on relationships between employees and their managers since #MeToo.
Dating can lead to problems at work and at home But workplace dating can lead to workplace breakups, and who wants to see their ex at the water cooler every day?
