Office Romance
Sally and Jack worked for Company A
Their friendship grew a bit stronger each day
Innocent talk about movies and weather
Soon led to them eating lunches together
After a while they started to flirt
They were both single – what could it hurt?
Their risqué behavior deserved an R rating
They justified it because they were dating
A few of their coworkers went to HR
Saying the relationship had gone too far
Further developments fueled the commotion
When Sally was handed a big, fat promotion
The other employees went on the attack
“She got this position because she’s with Jack!”
The reason coworkers were angry and cross
Stemmed from the fact that Jack was her boss
True or false, the situation was sticky
And human resources had to act quickly
Employees who were normally docile
Claimed that the workplace had become hostile
Morale and productivity took a hit
Lawsuits were threatened unless they both quit
Sexual harassment claims are no joke
Company A could potentially go broke
Your practice is vulnerable; don’t take a chance
Establish a policy on office romance
Put it in writing and make sure you share
With every employee so all are aware
The sooner the better; do not dilly-dally
Someday you might have your own Jack and Sally.
