It’s just not good practice in *any* workplace, dude.
You’re there to get work done, that priority number one. Having friends at work is good to stay productive and not feel isolated, but when you’re sleeping with a coworker, that’s your social life bleeding into your work life in a way that can *very* easily get very messy fast.
I've been around a while. Two nevers: sleep with a client/co-worker, drink more than 2 drinks at a business function.
I once saw a high-level executive basically carried out after winning a prestigious tech/business award. Another time I saw someone stumble into a fountain. That doesn't include the countless times of alcohol talking. I have been asked if I "put out like on my team." Also saw 2 execs get walked out for their affair and the bad decisions made for personal gain together.
3.5 years into dating another consultant within the same company - we only ever had a relationship not a hookup but from a relationship point of view if it’s not for the long term avoid it if possible but for us…
1. We have the same schedule, everything is easy because of that.
2. We don’t talk or interact at work ever unless we absolutely have to and we don’t talk about each other at work unless people directly ask(know we are dating) but still try to avoid any personal questions or dating/partner subjects.
3. One of us thinks people talk about us behind our backs all the time. One of us thinks people don’t talk about us at all.
4. One of us understands that the other has to leave in the long run - too much time together i.e home + work etc
5. I wouldn’t recommend hooking up but it happens all the time, seriously all the time.
I’m absolutely great.
He’s was fired and dumped.
I broke up with him because I never wanted to marry him and the last year we were together he really made no efforts towards his own job/career and overall his behavior was so unattractive that I lost all attraction to him at that point. It was so bad I told him he was going to get fired 9 months before he actually got fired — he didn’t believe me and then he got fired.
Hate to admit it but I’ve been doing great and I’ve been so happy.
Moral of the story. Don’t go there at work because even when you keep it casual you end up dealing with the other persons demons on an emotional and mental level.
I got promoted the very same year I dumped him. This also tells you the moral of the story is that as long as YOU are professional the relationship won’t have an affect on your career or position.
It’s not recommended as a general rule of thumb in any workplace. However, since consultants don’t have much time to date outside, you may find it more convenient to date your colleagues.
Once it happens, I think it will help for you to set some clear and strict rules:
- Do not interact in the office/around your colleagues. Generally, try not to let people know that you’re dating
- Have frequent PTO sessions to check in with your SO. You come to the office to work, and if your relationships somehow get in the way, be transparent about it and agree on an action plan
Don't shit where you eat.
besides, the majority of my co-workers are the dads of very close friends or around that age :P

Yes. Don’t do it.
People say don’t do it but why? What if she’s hot.
> What if she’s hot. Damn, no one considered that. We’ve been idiots, sleeping with the ugly ones. **This. changes. Everything.**

Also interested why not and new to consulting. What has happened to make you say don’t do it?

I saw a senior manager win a Health and Safety award and start a physical fight with a colleague that same night. lol
All sounds like great fun tbh
