Uncles and aunts have very real opportunities to influence their nephews and nieces, even over a distance. Understand, however, that the emotional investment you make might not earn immediate "interest." As with financial accounts, these relationship investments tend to grow slowly over time -- and, as investment professionals always warn, "past performance is not always indicative of future results."
Dear Amy: I manage a small group of employees in a small regional office.
As the most senior employee, I am the de facto "office boss."

Inter-office relationships are not against company policy, however, the nature of their relationship has certainly changed the office dynamic.
We are a close-knit group who neither endorses nor addresses their relationship, but we are vehemently opposed to infidelity and the nature of their relationship.
A schism has begun to take hold and I am worried that it will continue to have negative effects on the office (as well as the stability of my staffing), should something go wrong.
