Characters. The very first thing is who are the actors of the relations that have started. If love overtook two young (or not very) lonely fellow employees, then, as they say in such cases - advice and love. But if he is a boss, and you are a subordinate (or vice versa) - this entails many problems. It's no secret that such unequal relations in the eyes of colleagues almost always look like mercenary ones from the junior's side. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that such a novel will not leave anyone indifferent: behind your back they will whisper and gossip. If your feelings are sincere, it can hurt a lot. If, during the time of your romance, you are also moving along the career path, it is unlikely that someone will consider that raising or increasing the salary is your personal merit.
Even if it is in fact so . If you are the boss, and the object of passion is your subordinate, be alert! In such relationships there are, as a rule, two points: the age difference and your constant doubts: "Does he really love me, or am I just a stepping stone to career heights?" Agree to become a victim of a skilful career manipulator is not very pleasant.
Great expectations. Not the least role in the development of the service novel and its impact on the career and life in general is played by what exactly you expect from such a relationship, what goals you set for yourself. If a big and pure love, this is one thing, but if moving up the career ladder - it's quite another. And if both, then be ready to refuse anything. Practice shows: as soon as you have a romantic relationship with the boss, he melts under your charm and then ceases to see in you a talented promising employee, but sees a beautiful and beloved woman. He completely switches to a romantic wave: he calls you affectionate nicknames, endlessly smiles, compliments and ... does not listen to your brilliant ideas about the reorganization of the company and the promotion of a new project. What project, when tonight do you have a theater, a restaurant, and then a weekend together at the dacha under the crackle of logs in the fireplace? So, rather, in such a novel lies the threat of your career, and not a rapid rise, as the malicious who think you are insincerity think.
Career for love. Strangely enough, but the successes in personal life and career advancement are achieved by those who in the foreground - building their bright future in any way. When the head is not filled with "love ravings," and the heart remains cold, it is always easier to get the partner from what you need. A service novel for the sake of a career is the most common way to get a certain position. If this is your way, remember: here, as in the war, you need to foresee everything. It is necessary to give time to understand the "beloved", what exactly you want and in what quantity. Otherwise, you can stay at the broken trough and not get anything at all. Among other things, it is necessary to have a special character and unprincipled nature. Because that's the only way you can endure anything that entails the increase so raised, especially bypassing someone from the firm's employees. This is not forgiven, so you can not hope for a normal relationship with your colleagues. Be prepared for the fact that your business romance and your promotion will be the subject of discussion of all employees - from the guard to the deputy. Everywhere and everywhere you will be accompanied by the murmur of colleagues behind their backs and their strained smiles. There is also the possibility that particularly zealous "well-wishers" will start looking for shortcomings in your work, and, be sure, they will find them. And there - or you will get out (until next time), or you will be asked "at will".
The employer is "for"! As you can see, service novels are in reality less useful than dangers, although, you will agree, life would be without them is not interesting. In addition, in our "emotional" team, the rules are not as stringent as in Western companies. As polls show, domestic employers, if they do not welcome novels in the workplace, treat them fairly loyal. And really, what they need to worry about? After all, a service romance usually has only two consequences: either the company will have to make unplanned spending to give something to employees for a wedding, or, if there is no wedding, one of the heroes of the novel can leave the company. All the rest is a private matter for everyone.
