Anjou:
As someone who meant the love of her life at work, as well as having worked in HR in the past, it really depends what you mean by “flirting”?
Munchies:
Plus it's not as simple as getting enthusiastic consent. There's power dynamics and conflicts of interest to keep in mind too.
So while there are ways to make it work, it is a very careful game you have to play. You have to keep everything above board as it can impact both of your career paths. It can determine which departments you can work in, what promotions you get, or what teams you work on. I've seen some jobs that make you sign paperwork when it gets serious.
And don't even get me started on the potential fall out if it doesn't work out.
This isn't any shade towards you, Anjou. You and your husband seem to have a lovely relationship. But as a fellow former HR rep, I'm sure you have seen more failures than successes.
