Q:

Do I have to transfer?

My district leader wants me to transfer because I'm dating my managers brother. We have never let that effect our work relationship and we don't discuss home life at work. They says she is playing favorites and they want to transfer me. I called hr and he said that he would talk with the district leader and I have gotten no information back from either person. The handbook states that I have to move if we get married but that's no where in the picture at the moment. What do I do? 

A:

It's not only for the interest of the company; it's also for your best interest.
Imagine that for a reason or another, you stop dating your Manager's brother.
And your brother manages to convince you Manager that you've been acting badly toward him. (Let's go to the extreme and let's say he lies and tell his sister that you cheated on him.)
Now she'll side with him against you. You'll be in trouble.
With you not having to interact directly with that person (the Manager) at work, you're free to live your life, without fearing having your personal relationship interfere (in a good or in a bad way) with your professional life. 

A:

Conflict of interest comes into picture in your situation. Depending on company policies, they might force you to move under a different management chain. It might be in the same locality/office or some other place.
