Bombthreats. Workplace Violence. People using a conference room as a bedroom.

In HR, you see it all.

In this episode, we talk about dating co-workers, workplace romances, and terminations.

Workplace dating and romances often end in one of 2 pieces of paper: either a marriage license or a restraining order.

It doesn’t have to be that somebody has actually done something for you to get a restraining order. You can go before a judge & present evidence that shows that the person could be potentially violent.

In most employment contracts, whether implied or explicit, there’s a morality clause. You can’t do some things because you are associated with a certain organization, even if it’s off-duty.
