The Results Are In: Workplace Romance Bad, EEOC Too Hard
Thanks for expressing yourselves in our most recent polls. Here’s what you had to say . . .
Workplace Romance Bans a Thing of the Past? In response to a New York Times article suggesting that workplace romance prohibitions are on their way out, we asked for your thoughts.
Looks like you don’t agree with the Times (we don’t either). 51% of you reported that workplace romances still make you break out in hives. 25% are neither for nor against workplace romance. A grand total of 0% said that workplace romances are an important employee benefit.
More importantly, 24% of you indicated that you don’t particularly care about your own office but that the recent revelation that Jim and Pam of NBC TV’s The Office are dating was “a mistake” because it “released the underlying dramatic tension that propelled the show’s plot forward.” We agree.
EEOC: Too hard, too soft or just right? In another poll ripped from today’s headlines, we followed up recent accusations that the EEOC under President Bush is too soft on employers by asking what you think.
Again, you disagreed.
47% of you said that the EEOC is too hard on employers. Only 20% said that the EEOC is too soft. 33% said the EEOC is “just right.”
Thanks again for your input! We’ll post a new poll soon.
