workplace affair
Coworker romantic entanglement
A workplace affair is a romantic or sexual relationship between people who work together, typically when at least one is already in a committed relationship.
The term carries connotations of secrecy and professional risk: HR got involved when the workplace affair between two managers became public.
Such relationships often violate company policies and can complicate office dynamics.
