Dear Fonseca,
I work for a very well-known large company in the area. We were recently bought. The new bosses are implementing new policies that none of the employees really like. My new manager brought my boyfriend and I into the office the other day and told us one of the new policies is that employees cannot date one another. He and I both love our jobs and are paid extremely well. We have until Friday to decide what to do. He and I have been miserable for the last couple of days. Needless to say, lots of tears have been shed. I have to make an important decision. My job or my boyfriend? I don't know what to do. Can you give me some advice or maybe ask your listeners what they would do?
