Love at work
Love, sex and work are tricky subjects, especially when they collide. What should people do about it?
VALENTINE'S Day reminds us that love pervades our lives - including our time at work. You do not have to be sleeping with someone to love them. You do not even have to have affections normally associated with sexual love when you are trying to make a business profitable or attempting to initiate a new source of revenue.
Indeed, mixing business and sex can be dangerous, although many Mom & Pop shops run perfectly happily and, given some simple rules, married couples often build successful enterprises, usually to the astonishment of their friends.
Love, sex and work are tricky subjects, especially when they collide. But let's face the truth. People working together develop deep friendships. They have emotions and they fall in love. Their interests merge and their affections cling together.
