Re: Eh?
"How can your employer possibly dictate who you can see outside of the workplace?"
Technically, they don't. I've worked at Intel, and their policy is pretty clear -- it's a condition of the job that you don't maintain a relationship with someone you are in a position of authority over. They aren't saying you can't have such a relationship, but if you do then one of you either has to take a different position so that there isn't a supervisory work relationship, or one of you has to leave.
It's a subtle distinction, I know, but they aren't dictating who you can or can't see, they're dictating the conditions you must meet to keep a particular position.
