Office Romances

George Steinbrenner - By Donald J. Trump

This season on The Apprentice, two of the candidates - Tim and Nicole - had what I guess you would call “an office romance.” The romance ended up hurting Tim because he couldn’t figure out if his loyalties were to Nicole or to his team. Plus he couldn’t really concentrate on what he was doing.

That’s the risk you take when you mix business with pleasure. It certainly makes the workplace more interesting for you, but rarely does it make you a better employee.

A recent survey found that at least 60 percent of workers have had an office romance. That’s a lot of flirting and who-knows-what going on at work instead of actual working. I don’t even want to know how much of it has gone on here in the Trump Organization!

If you’re having an office romance, my advice is to be even sharper and better than you normally are at your job. Like Tim’s teammates did with him, your coworkers will just be looking for your romance to hurt your performance.

Then you might hear, “You’re fired!” Is a little office romance worth that? In most cases, I certainly don’t think so.
