Question: Is it OK to date a subordinate?

No matter what your intentions are, its best not to date your managers or subordinates. “It is a bad idea to get involved with anybody who is in your chain of command — up or down,” says Markman.

Is it wrong to date your subordinate?

Dating a direct supervisor can impact the morale in the company if fellow employees perceive favoritism. Additionally, make sure the company policy does not prohibit a manager from dating a subordinate. If it does, one or both parties may have to move departments or leave the job entirely, or risk being terminated.
