Hi ROss,

Alleged, but not proved sexual harassment in hte THomas
case.

True, and BIll and MOnica could have easily been considered
that.

RC> Boss and Subordinate in bed with each other:

And also to give less than favorable status to that person
if the relationship goes sour.  BOth are known to happen.

THen the flip side of the coin:

I know a lot of very good stable relationships that have
begun in the workplace.  Most responsible adults spend most
of their waking hours working.

MOst of my working life has been in the entertainment
business, either as a musician or a technical professional
supporting such activities.  tHe thing I hate most is to
find myself in a family situation where boss is related to
one of the supporting folks, i.e. featured singer is married to lead guitarist
husband, or technical director of the show is her boyfriend.  I've gotten to
where when hiring myself
out for regular work I avoid such situations <g>.

RC> The relationship sours and I think you can put 1 and 1 together. 

Yep, see above <g>.

sTill with all that, I"d bet you if we were to take an
informal poll of folks we know we'd find that probably 50%
of those in stable longterm relationships met the other at
work, which is where their relationship first started.


Regards,
           Richard
