Question

What does the fares "Don't dip the pen in company ink" mean?

Answer 1

is most likely,"don't interfere in others business or don't get in bad situations."

Answer 2

It means not to skim from the company or to use company resources for personal use

Answer 3

I've always understood it to mean don't date people with whom you work because things could become awkward between the two of you if and when you break up.

Answer 4

dont date/ fool around with co-workers

Answer 5

The saying actually goes:

"Don't dip the pen in company inkwell."

"Pen" is a phallic metaphor.  "Inkwell" is a metaphor for the female private parts.

"Don't have s*x with your co-workers" in other words.

Good advice, actually.
