Typically this isn't a smart move especially if you work in a small place or in the same office...but I've started with this girl I work only part time with. I'm technically her superior but we never work at the same time.

So....good idea? Anyone have any experience with this type of situation?

and no you pervs, there will be no pics :)

Have experience.

Normally not a good idea, esp if you are her superior since there are usually rules against stuff like that.

If it goes bad, poo gets REAL awkward REAL fast. Really depends on how big your office is and how often you 2 would be interacting.

If it goes well, then you have nothing to worry about.

I would say no, but we all know ur not going to listen to whether or not we say yes or no.

Here's a ray of hope for you though, my parents met in the workplace, snuck around for a long time...they are still together and happy after 31 years of marriage.

Meh, hooked up with 1 girl at my last job and almost a 2nd a week later. Didn't really avoid the 1st one, just didn't seek her out to talk, if she talked to me it was fine. No co-workers knew that I knew of and that was the most important thing. Quit for another job 2 and a half weeks after anyway.

Just keep it on the dl

The thing is I know I'm gonna have to stop working there before year's end because I'm finishing my masters and need to focus. And like I said we're talking a place of part time shifts (not full time) and we don't even work at the same time daily. So its kinda tricky because I like avoiding these situations at all costs but we never really interact at the office. I originally met her elsewhere and everything has been out of the office.

If anything happens, I'll just keep it discreet and ask her what she wants.

    • Congratulations do they know who the father is?
    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
