I've never agreed with this.

Much of it depends on your relationship at work with that person 'Boss/equal/different department/subordinate' the nature of your work, the nature of the person involved, and the like.
I have to say that after posting my comments I just knew that there would be nay sayers.

You know what, IF you are truly THAT worried about this issue, then maybe you should NOT swing! No one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to swing. You seem to revel in coming up with possible what IF's from people with an agenda. We could create ALL kinds of what if's if you like.

BUT we are adults, we make grown up decisions about our behavior and we evaluate the consequences and decide if the risk is worth it. This applies to swinging and about a DOZEN other activities I can think of off the cuff.

There are real concerns and possible consequences to engaging in this type of behavior and others. They are real and you have to assess them and determine if they are worth taking for you.

This thread is more about addressing the irrational - well maybe that's too strong a word, lets say hyper vigilance-, concern about a possible scenario between normal people without an agenda.
