From Helena Oliviero and Jamie Gumbrecht at The Atlanta Journal Constitution:

It’s the stuff of romantic comedies and episodes of “The Office,” but certainly not just a fictional script: coworkers fall for each other, and to add even more intrigue, one sometimes turns out to be the other’s boss.

State Transportation Board Chairman Mike Evans apparently chose love over work this week when he resigned his position to pursue a relationship with state Department of Transportation Commissioner Gena Abraham. They are both single, but she reported to the board he chaired, and department policy forbids relationships beyond the friendly and professional variety within the direct chain of command.

How times have changed. Don’t get me wrong office romances have been going on ever since the first office was built but in bygone eras they were frowned upon.

That was then this is now
