* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', the OfficialCouple Fry and Leela are coworkers. Their relationship began as a one-sided crush on Fry's part before Leela began to return his feelings at the end of the fourth movie. They have a RelationshipRevolvingDoor for a season before settling into a more stable couple in the final season. Fry also dated Amy for an episode before he broke up with her. Amy also dated Bender in a later episode before he broke up with her. Leela apparently had asked her boss from her previous job out on a date but he refused since he was married (he never wore his ring so Leela didn't know.) He apparently met his own wife this way as well.

Very often fiction that features characters in a work environment will have at least one instance of on the job romance. Sometimes it's within the rules, especially if both parties are at the same rank; however, it may be against the HR policy if one person is a boss, due to the power imbalance. Characters can get called on it, sent for HR training, or even get fired. If the pairing fails, there can be a lot of awkwardness in the aftermath, as they still have to work together.
