To have a sexual relationship with someone who could in the future be your boss if there is no way your relationship could interfere with the job?

MORALLY wrong? no, so long as one or both or you are not married to someone else. ETHICALLY wrong? Maybe, for professional relationships do get scrutinized if love or sex 'interfere' with the job or mission. Normally what it does negatively affect is the rules of leadership and management where it states one should never show favortism over another. And all it would take is office or department coworkers to learn that you two are bonding for that negative perception to take place. As it stands now, it shouldnt be a problem. If she's promoted to become your boss, and you know you're too much in love, then consider transferring to another department or seek employment elsewhere.

Here is a question to answer yours. Why take a chance on something that in the future could ruin or possibly destroy your career, or even your home life? It may not interfere now, but there is nothing saying that two years from now it might be a smoking gun to the end of your career? So why take the chance. I have seen it happen several times. It always comes back to haunt you.

A. You should not have sexual relations outside of marriage.
B. How could a relationship with your boss not affect your job?

I don't care who you are or where you work. You have sex with someone who could be your boss, it WILL affect your relationship.
For my part, if you are not married to this person, then it is morally wrong to have sex with him/her regardless of your relationship now or in the future.

You don't get your meat at the bakery so don't be getting your bread at the butchers! Morally wrong maybe not so much...ethically wrong - possibly.
Remember ethics are the things you do even when no one is looking. You don't think this will have an effect but since that possibility exists you're playing with fire!

Morally wrong? No. Awkward? Heck yes. Unless you have no problems with seeing that person every day and being their subordinate. Personally, I don't dip in the office pool. There are so many other people out there, why risk unhappiness in your career for just casual sex?

thats difficult to answer. as a certified logician (well; i've studied logic and philosophy) you could approach it from a number of angles.
that said. go for it..unless you know that him/her being your boss is going to be an issue for you, and if you love the person..for them. that said; who knows, maybe you'll end up hating him/her. i can think of plenty of circumstances where i have had ops to work with lovers/ex lovers. take it in your stride. the relationship will pbly always effect it. its up to you. do you like them or not?
is it worth the sacrifice?

Nope, if they aren't your'e direct boss at the moment, I don't see any problem. If it does come up later that the two of you did stuff, then they can't actually involve that in any decisions they make about you anyway... (I've actually been the boss in that situation... we broke up before work was involved thank god)
