Why are SECRETARIES mostly play as the FAMILY BREAKER? - Page 2

I believe that those who make this things are aware that this is bad, but still they continue making such foolishness.

Why do people really love doing or trying what is prohibited? This does not only apply to a relationship but also in some other things.

I worked for over twenty years one on one with executives- all married- as their primary assistant and was never once tempted to move beyond a professional relationship. But then again, I always made it a rule not to become too personal with my co-workers and collegues either. It always worked for me.

Okay, I have to jump in here. My mother was a secretary for over 20 years and NEVER broke up a family! She divorced my father, but it had nothing to do with her occupation, and she never had an in office affair (or any affair for that matter). I thought the secretary stereotype was antiquated, but I guess not.

I worked in HR once, and the executives often hired secretaries based on their looks, and never even asked if they could type or turn on the computer. Luckily, they usually could.

So, it's the bosses fault.

This approach, to me, is one of the ways to keep things happy. By all means be personable with your coworkers, but keep it professional and keep it in the workplace. Friends are the ones who know all your warts and love you anyway - you need them in your life, but not at the job.

When someone makes a dull person's life exciting again, there is trouble at home. Whether it's a secretary or a co-worker, or anyone else, the problem is not necessarily the way they met, but that things were dull at home.

I had a boss that was attracted to me. He was a fine fellow except for the fact that he wanted to cheat on his wife with me. I thought it was wrong and yucky. He just seemed to hit on me because I was single and available. That is gross.
