If you walked in and saw a male boss and his female worker embracing in an affectionate hug...would you think it was your business to say anything?

That's a tough one. If they didn't see me see them then I would rpt. Them annoynomusly( excuse the spelling) if they did see me then I would mind my buisness. What they did is unprofessional.

NO! Why would it be? You don't know why they were hugging.....and why would it be your business to report anyway? Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear, good advice from someone older and wiser who is now gone.....

To answer your question, No. Best MYOB.

Relationships are going to occur in the work environment. This is inevitable. I guess reporting comes down to if you feel the boss is using his power of authority to exploit the other person.

No. MYOB and move on. You seem to have an awful lot of issues at your job. It may be best if you concentrated more on yourself and patients and less on others.

Why does it matter? I hug my co-workers from time to time, both male and female. Someone might deem it "affectionate" but most of the time it's after one of them had a bad night, lost a patient, or what not. Doesn't mean we're having a relationship.

If they are in a relationship, they will eventually either come forward, or get caught one way or another. Just mind your own business... if you question it or report it (or even ask others about it), it's going to come back and bite you.

I wouldn't give it a second thought. Being reported for hugging would be like living in a police state.

When do you ever find time to work? Or do you?
