Discussion: I am a senior manager in a large company. I have a long affair with my secretary. I am troubled by issues of sexual harassment. I wonder if I should end the relationship.

Novels in the workplace are widespread; the law does not prohibit romances in the workplace but rather the exploitation of authority in a subordinate-supervisor relationship. The issue of sexual harassment has become particularly prevalent. If you have deep feelings towards your secretary and want to maintain the bond between you, she shouldn't be your direct or indirect subordinate.
