Today, a coworker told me she may be in love with me. I admitted similar feelings and we agreed, since we're both happily married, not to spend time together anymore. Two hours later we were both promoted to run the same project, where we'll be "working hand in glove for the next couple of years." FML

Today, I found out that the man I've wanted to be with for the last year and a half also wants to be with me. Two weeks ago, I got a promotion! I'm also legally no longer allowed to date him. FML

Today, it was the first day after my promotion. Everyone, including myself, was shocked that I was promoted so quickly. I figured it was because of all the hard work and overtime I'd put in. However, my coworkers figure I'm just sleeping with the boss, and constantly glare and snicker behind my back. FML

Today, my girlfriend who trained me at the job we both work at received a promotion, which left a spot for advancement. I was chosen for the position, and now the guy she's been cheating on me with is training me. Congrats. FML

Worst Way To Get Promoted - 25/09/2019 16:00

Today, I walked in on my boss masturbating in the supply room of our restaurant. I pretended I didn't see him and quickly closed the door. About five minutes later, he came out, cupped my face in his hands and told me I was getting promoted. I'm happy, but scarred for life. FML

As long as you're not breaking any policies, you should be alright. Congratulations OP!

If you work at a restaurant this shouldn't new a problem as, where I worked, everyone was banging each other regardless off their employment position. Bosses and servers, servers and cooks, hostesses and bosses, etc.

The lady always ends up being the boss anyway, and if you guys don't agree think again, she'll just let you think your the boss.

Oh well, shit happens. If your relationship is supposed to work, it will. No matter what life throws at it.

If you were dating before the promotion you can continue to do so. But I would make the relationship known to your boss now so it isn't considered fraternization

I agree in principle, but a romantic relationship especially with a boss/subordinate relationship creates a huge conflict of interest and might jeopardize the company if things go south. My employer will reassign workers if they are close friends and affect business operation, contracts, or any other number of things. Appearing to show favoritism can be very bad.

Be careful OP. Depending on your company's rules, conflicts of interest abound. The easiest way would be to have one employee transferred to another work area.
