I recently started a romantic relationship with one of my coworkers. How do I best inform my boss about the situation?



Background:



  • Our relationship has been growing for ~2 months now, we're both very happy with it and consider it a long-term thing.

  • We work in an IT-focused company in West/Central Europe.

  • She's a normal employee without management responsibilities, I'm about 2 management levels above her.

  • She's not working for me. She's in an adjacent group that my boss also manages, so my direct boss is one of her indirect bosses.
