If the parties both divorce their current spouses does it make ok. Plus one of them benefits job wise because of the illecit affair. They also used company funding and meetings to date. Is the company right in allowing them to change positions so they can continue the affair. Would you want to work for this type of company.

well although i would say morally its wrong, the company and the bosses arent their babysitters, nor do they have the right to tell two consenting adults what they can do and not do.. its sad that they both would stoop as low as to do things such as commit adultery, and ruin their families lives because their both to imature to actually own up to the vows they've taken, but these are selfish people . To blame the company would be wrong.. the blame needs to rest on the shoulders of the betrayers and not the innocent party.. Thats almost to say , if they went to the movies, then the movie theater should be held responsible because they housed a meeting place for them to carry out the date, or the resturant, or the hotel.. etc..
The blame is theirs no one elses.. a company cant babysit their employees and the company did not put a gun to their heads and say here have an affair.. so make sure u put the blame where it belongs, on the betrayers.. and no where else..

It depends on formal company policy. Relationships between employees should be discouraged, but people are sometimes adulterous. If they divorce their mates and marry their adulterous partner, do you expect the company to fire them? Are you perhaps one of the partners whose spouse is having an affair?
I've worked in an office for a major company for many years and have seen this happen. Sometimes one of the employees will be transferred to another department to help keep the company running smoothly. A company cannot, however, interfere in the personal, private lives of their employees. They can publish standards of dress and standards of conduct, but that's about it. I can't speak to the legal issues, which can vary from state to state, but there can be a "morals" clause in their employment contract and that would apply in some cases.
Just because I was seeing it happen, didn't mean I approved. However, the situation did not affect me or my work so it was none of my business. I was at the company to work, not to gossip or judge people.

ABSOLUTELY NOT....However, I would have to be sure that the facts were true before I would say or do anything. Most of the time, there is always something going on "behind closed doors". You can either stay and do your job and ignore it, or leave and get another job - hopefully, you won't find even worse.
I have been very fortunate in my career and jobs. I have always prayed FIRST and was led by the Spirit to accept a job that was meant for me. Presently, I am a teacher and my principal and most of my co-workers are saved and we pray together, encourage each other in the Word and we are about doing positive things. I love going to work everyday and my students are remarkable. Yes, I have some days that I may not be totally up there - and my coworkers and students are right there with a word, a song or a piece of candy or something to help their teacher and friend get back on the one. I thank God for this everyday.

No, I don't think it is right. I worked for a company where the owner was cheating on his wife with a lady there, and both couples were supposed to be really good friends. Any ways it was all about favoritism and it made the working environment really uncomfortable. Everyone knew what was going on, and the owners wife always called and visited. I really think she was the sweetest person you could ever meet next to her Mom who also worked there (her mom had no clue). It felt as I was helping keep their affair going, by not saying anything. But it was not my place to say anything. Besides I would have lost my job.

The owners of any company have the right to do whatever they want regarding this type of relationship. If I loved what I did in the company this would not bother me and if not I might look to leave. Most companies frown on coworkers having relationships.

If a company supported dating btwn two adulterous co-workers, I'd be disgusted.
If I know exactly what was going on with an "unspoken policy", I'd definitely hand in my resignation.
I wouldn't want to be around if one of the spouses came to the office for a visit!

I actually was in a situation similair to that. Honestly it's none of the companies business what they do outside of work. But using work money to do this is a no no and if the company finds out they can be fired.

The company needs to remember that the husband has every right to take them to court for the divorce. If the company has allowed, and encouraged such behaviour then they are putting themselves in the firing line.

Why not? As long as they changed positions and it's no longer effecting anyone I don't see the problem. Especially if that company is not worried about it like that, so I wouldn't concern myself with others people business as long as it's not effecting you or anyone else in the company!

No way would I want to work for a company that allowed that. It shouldn't be tolerated, and certainly not on the company's budget.
