Significant Other Drama at the Office

Moderator Note (Andy): Best of WSO - this post originally went up April 2008 and we thought it deserved to go back on the homepage for those who may have never seen it.

What's the worst significant other drama you've seen or personally experienced while at the office?

What do you do if you're on the receiving end? How do coworkers typically react? Is it normal to see gf drama, or is it something to be embarrassed about?

Have you ever seen a girlfriend or wife do something crazy like show up at the office and yell "Come home now or we are OVER!"?

My gf is very um... emotional, and as I get closer to my start date, I'm afraid she'll do something dramatic when I start working crazy hours.

I was actually wondering.. is it alright to have a friend or bf/gf there in your office while you work at night? Not disturbing you obviously, but reading near you or whatever? I think if it were allowed it would make the analysts' lives much happier and the relationship not so tense etc. etc.

Good answer. Nobody likes baby mama drama in the office.

I think there would be a wee few compliance issues if you had your gf tagging along in the office. Also, you're going to want to focus on getting your shit done, not entertaining your gf and keeping her from getting too bored.

Once, on the back of working 75 out of 80 odd hours, I had to call my gf who hadn't seen me for 4 odd days (we live together) and tell her I had to cancel our summer holiday to Sardinia. She went ballistic (bear in mind she works in research so it isn't like she 100% doesnt get the hours). I put the phone down as I was too tired to comprehend her shouting, and it was so loud through the phone my buddy who could see the pain I was in, walked by and hung it up. People could tell I was going through hell, but wasn't terribly embarassing.

if she's a tenured gf who has put in your time and you are serious about, show some tact and explain it's a 2 yr commitment, try to plan small trips together etc. If she's relatively new and unproven - do as you see fit at the time.

In all honesty, it's just an issue that some people have to put up with, though it's not usually too embarrassing.

My gf works for MBB so she "gets" my work hours and hers aren't all that different; however, the associate in the office next to me has a control-freak of a gf who gets annoyingly upset with him when he works too much. It's actually pretty hilarious when they get into full blown arguments over the phone, because he's usually shouting and I can hear their entire argument from my office.

I agree. I think it would also be beneficial if analysts were allowed to have a pet in their cubes, so long as it doesn't bark/meow while you're on the phone, or within earshot while a superior is on the phone with a client... that would be pretty ridiculous.

But I am kind of hoping this job will be more than a two year commitment. I hope to be in IB, PE or some other well-paid, high stress job. I'm hoping my job in IB will establish a trend of earning lots of money over the next 20-30 yrs.

I debated telling this story because it's somewhat personal, but I'll be somewhat vague, I guess.

An associate of mine in banking was constantly absent from the office, it was clear there were personal issues at play - either that, or he was looking for another job. One day, a fellow analyst was sitting at his computer fixing a model while the associate looked on. Well, through the preview boxes that pop up whenever you receive email, it was clear within that hour time frame that the associate was 1) having extreme marital problems, 2) having an affair and 3) looking for another job.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
