<\/p>\n
Sally and Jack worked for Company A<\/p>\n
Their friendship grew a bit stronger each day<\/p>\n
Innocent talk about movies and weather<\/p>\n
Soon led to them eating lunches together<\/p>\n
After a while they started to flirt<\/p>\n
They were both single \u2013 what could it hurt?<\/p>\n
Their risqu\u00e9 behavior deserved an R rating<\/p>\n
They justified it because they were dating<\/p>\n
A few of their coworkers went to HR<\/p>\n
Saying the relationship had gone too far<\/p>\n
Further developments fueled the commotion<\/p>\n
When Sally was handed a big, fat promotion<\/p>\n
The other employees went on the attack<\/p>\n
\u201cShe got this position because she\u2019s with Jack!\u201d<\/p>\n
The reason coworkers were angry and cross<\/p>\n
Stemmed from the fact that Jack was her boss<\/p>\n
True or false, the situation was sticky<\/p>\n
And human resources had to act quickly<\/p>\n
Employees who were normally docile<\/p>\n
Claimed that the workplace had become hostile<\/p>\n
Morale and productivity took a hit<\/p>\n
Lawsuits were threatened unless they both quit<\/p>\n
Sexual harassment claims are no joke<\/p>\n
Company A could potentially go broke<\/p>\n
Your practice is vulnerable; don\u2019t take a chance<\/p>\n
Establish a policy on office romance<\/p>\n
Put it in writing and make sure you share<\/p>\n
With every employee so all are aware<\/p>\n
The sooner the better; do not dilly-dally<\/p>\n
Someday you might have your own Jack and Sally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
