Work ethics is a fortnightly feature in Guardian Work where a reader submits a workplace dilemma and asks for your help. A selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper. (And if you have an office dilemma you'd like to share, anonymously, with our readers, please email us).

This week's question

I think I've fallen in love with a girl at work. At the Christmas do I told her how I felt, but she brushed me off – apparently she has a boyfriend and doesn't want to be with me. Since then we've hardly spoken and I am mortified. How can we work together now? I'm wondering if I should quit.
