Against all odds it worked out, haha. Probably would have been worse if we didn't commit to dating soon after meeting, which could have been a huge mess. Always feel like a hypocrite when I warn against dating coworkers lol

for me and my partner we were in different departments so even if it went to shit we would have been able to easily ignore each other

so maybe best general advice is make sure you aren't working in close proximity or direct collaboration. but at my company there are some really gross abuses at the upper management levels with married couples with supervisory roles over each other. i wonder if they let it happen because it makes them look "dedicated". like "you'll basically live at work anyways so might as well marry each other"

It's always upper management...

And for what it's worth, for us it was absolutely the same department. i-love-not-thinking
