Say you have an awful breakup, and the other person starts saying personal info about you or saying mean things or outright lies about you.
This can be expecially devistating for a woman because she needs to maintain a professional relationship with her boss and co-workers and if a guy is spreading around info about her sexually it can be very difficult.

As I was once told, you don't get your meat where you get your bread. There are several reasons:
1. When this happens, you may lose your sense of objectivity and sense of duty in the workplace. Remember, you're there to do work, not make googly eyes at her or find ways to see her on the job. You may lose your focus on the job.
2. Even if you're in different departments, who's to say that one day you won't be in the same one? What if either of you gets promoted? What if it doesn't work out and it's a messy break up? Who's to say that she won't accuse you of some kind of wrongdoing? Accuse you of sexual harassment?
3. If she accuses you of sexual harassment (assuming you break up), some companies will automatically fire you, no questions asked without hearing your side of the story.
I know sometimes,despite these warnings, people move along with the relationship but I would say, tread VERY carefully. Better yet, maybe one of you needs to find another job.
Good luck.

There is a ton of reasons not to date someone at work. First of all it may be against company policy. If you are employed at different levels there could be an issue with sexual harassment. If you break up you will have to see that person 2-3 times a day and still work together on one level or another. Think about the worse breakup you ever had an imagine having to see that person everyday afterward.
If you still decide to date someone that you work with, notify your human resources department. Usually you will just have to both sign a form that notifies the company of your relationship and absolves them of any legal responsibilities associated with it.

As someone who married someone from work - I don't think its such a bad idea at all. But had the relationship not worked I would still have to work with him on a day to day.
I think the big negative is the reaction of your colleagues as they dissect your relationship on a day to day basis. When you date someone from work, the relationship becomes so much more public (unless you can keep a really good lid on it) and its not always a healthy environment.

It makes for very uncomfortable work conditions if you break up, especially if other employees know of your situation. And what happens if you/ they start a new relationship, you have to deal with that too! Other than that!!! I met my boyfriend at work, and all is well, although we no longer work at the same employer.

If you break up, you will still have to see them at work.
