"Don't get your meat where you get your bread from"
Given to me by my dear old da.

It's not a reference to butchers and bakers, it's about the advisability of NOT having a relationship with someone you work with. And it is 100% true - if the relationship works, then you're never apart. If it fails, you can't get away from the buggers without jacking your job.

Workplace relationships are fine
so long as you only do it with people on the same level as you. If you're a man, never shag anyone junior to you.

To be honest, I've always subscribed to the belief that if I'm still in the same role with the same company after 3 years then I've stagnated and it's time to move on, so it's unlikely I'd get stuck with anyone for long.
