Any risks in staff of a company being in a romantic relationship with a staff of a close competitor?

[King Belieal]

We can't really control where people would find love. But in business, certain things are very sensitive. Is is right for the staff of a business organization to be in a romantic relationship with someone who is working for a close competitor? Is it very risky for the business?

It is only risky if the staff involved is a senior staff of the company and has access to business secrets. Such relationships should be frowned at by the company.

It's risky if the staff has access to some sensitive information, they might not give out some of these information internationally though. Then again it mostly depends on the maturity of both persons involved.

I t is not acceptable and i have no option than to sack the staff immediately. He is alreay a threat to the business and can likely influence negative behavior among staffs. I should better get rid of himself before it become very diastrous.

These depends on the people involved. one can still be in such position without sabotaging his or her company because of any affair
