How to handle office relationships – don’t copy Netflix’s Selling the OC, and learn to say no if you feel uncomfortable, experts say
- Experts agree that Selling Sunset spin-off Selling the OC is not the best example of appropriate office etiquette – cuddle puddles on the beach, anyone?
- To avoid drama, draw the line at romantic relationships with colleagues, avoid drinking too much with them and speak out if they make you feel uncomfortable
It is not just the high-end real estate that is raising eyebrows on the debut season of Netflix’s Selling the OC.
“How many other real estate offices have cuddle puddles on the beach?” Tyler Stanaland, who wed Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow in 2020, asks during an office event.
While cuddled up in the group hugging session, his colleague Alex Hall gives him a “nosey”, a move not captured by cameras but explained to be when someone covers another’s nose with their mouth. We second agent Kayla Cardona’s evaluation of “ew”.
At the same flirty function, Polly Brindle swims naked in front of her office mates, making good on a bet with Stanaland. Later, in one of the most dramatic storylines of the season, Stanaland reveals that Cardona has repeatedly tried to kiss him after one too many drinks.
