RE: Where do you draw the line between coworkers relationships within the workplace?

This hasn't happened to me when I was working, but I'm pretty sure that it depends on the situation. If their relationship is starting to hinder the workplace or affect others, I think it wouldn't be appropriate. On the other hand, if their relationship doesn't bother anyone or affect the workplace, I believe it's acceptable. It also depends on what the company's policy regarding workplace relationships. For example, Camosun College follows a workplace relationship policy that somewhat relates to what I said above. They also advice their employees to end their relationship if it begins to influence the other's judgement, input or decision-making power.
