General Discussion

Arranging dates, marriages, divorces etc. It was almost like high school, LOL.
These were well known companies.

Work environment at both places was toxic, but the dating was the least toxic aspect. No one gave it a thought. Sexual harassment was common place at the phone company. One guy followed me into my apartment without permission and was constantly asking me questions about my personal life. (He was married. He was harassing me. It was a form of intimidation) I had no legal standing against this. People would steal your work, they would mess up your work. It seemed instead of working, most co-workers were engaged in sabotage. The phone company eventually folded.

It was so bad, I got out of the corporate world and vowed I would never work in business again in my life. I didn't leave because of the dating. It was all the other stuff.
I went to nursing school
____________

Interns and nurses dating was acceptable, although it was not common. (Let's face it, if you're single nurse and interacting with a group of interns, it's a pretty good set up. They have their own room and you go over there and interact with them professionally to clarify orders etc) Although I really didn't see flirting on the job, I know a few relationships developed) I remember in the 90's, all of a sudden, those relationships had to be under the radar. We had some training about it too and were told to avoid flirting on the job etc. I was old and married by then.
