I too tried to avoid banging inside the corporate team as it just made things awkward at work. I did get involved with a female directly in our team once. In 2018 when I was a Superintendent managing 15 people at a Mining and Energy company, I said to the Manager (my 1-up who was also a female who is now a Vice President at the same company) during our weekly team meeting in front of about 5 other Superintendents, how amazing the Managers female assistants holiday looks and that she's posted some awesome stories on her Snapchat. My Manager dropped her pen and looked at me and said, 'you have her on Snapchat?'. I was like 'Uhhh, yeah' and she just said 'Snapchat is dangerous'. Our working relationship was never the same again
. No proof that we smashed, but we did and I think she knew straight away.
