Let’s be real
This situation sucks, but the blame should fall mostly on the boss. He’s the one in power, and that changes everything. Even if your friend agreed to it, when your boss holds your career in their hands, it’s not really a fair choice. That’s how exploitation starts.
Most women don’t “sleep their way to the top”, they work their butts off and still get passed over. The idea that women get ahead this way is an old myth that just makes it harder for women to be taken seriously. If anything, this kind of thing ruins reputations and makes people doubt whether someone earned their position.
At the end of the day, the boss broke the rules. He should know better. He’s the one who can get fired for this, and for good reason. It’s not about shaming your friend, it’s about holding the person with power accountable. That’s how we make workplaces fairer for everyone.

There was probably an attraction on both sides and it worked out for her.

@AngelUnforgiven A lot of businesses have "non-fraternisation" clauses, especially between management and non-salaried, because of the potential for problems that affect the entire team, office, company, etc.

@bijouxbroussard yes I know that some of them do but people often do it anyway outside of the workplace.

Both. It's Coldplay kisscam esque.
Don't hate the players, hate the game.

Why does someone have to be at fault ?
Sounds like they both got what they wanted

ArishMell · 70-79, M
@iwishuwerehere Ah, but did she want promotion by that means?
iwishuwerehere · 61-69, M
@ArishMell apparently she did. She was just using what she had to get what she wanted. What’s wrong with that?
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@iwishuwerehere Depends on her, as well as his, self-respect but also suggests she might not have been suited to the work itself. I wonder if her manager even considered her ability.

lol. That's super funny!
Softandsweet2 · 36-40, F
Did she get promoted? If she didn't she can remind her boss that he also has a boss who may be interested in what happened.
Be somewhere safe when she tells him cause we have seen this scenario in countless crime stories.

Not sure until I've had a look at the boss.

@Mellomarsha he is in his fifties

Both. Or human frailty.
You can discount the later either, which so many apparently do.
Both greed and lust are apart of humanity. It doesn't make either right or wrong. It just is. And balance of trade by itself is greed on both parties.

@DeWayfarer They are wrong when used against others, which in this case may have been to gain an unfair promotion advantage.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@ArishMell There are multiple reasonings on this post. It's all depends on the circumstances. Which is why I gave so many view points.

Why isn't she filing a lawsuit?
@Northwest Oh you know how that goes.
"Did you smile at him?"
"Did you kiss him?"
"Did you touch his private parts?"
"Did he touch your private parts?"
"Did you do it more than once?"
"Did you shave any of your private parts for him?"
"Tell everyone in the court and the media in detail how it all went down"

@PoohSmasher have you heard of the MeToo movement?

Neither? Both?

@Gumbodidlo Not supposed to play with the fruit you are picking, and never take a bite out of it.
Gumbodidlo · 61-69, C
@PoohSmasher what's the point of picking the fruit then
@Gumbodidlo Because without the fruit you have no income. The fruit is for everyone else, not for you.

The boss. He was in a position of authority and trust and he used his power in an unethical way. He won't secure good employees and he won't be respected either.
Ramrod · 46-50, M
Neither, they both made a choice,then they deal with the aftermath ????

The boss was asking for trouble and shouldn’t have dipped his "pen" in the "company ink", to use an old saying. If your friend slept with him with the sole intent to get promoted, and wouldn’t have chosen him otherwise…well. Under any other circumstances, trading sex for benefit, whether it’s cash, housing or a promotion, is generally defined as prostitution. Not a judgment call. A dear friend is a well-respected doctor because as his mistress, she let a much older man pay her medical school tuition. But it is what it is.

No victim no crime, perhaps, but it doesn't say much for either of them as people.😯
onewithshoes · 26-30, F
@swirlie Well argued.😉
If the first sentence be taken alone, the query marks that follow could be seen either as questioning the friend's motive in sleeping with her boss -- or whether any of it happened at all.🙄 It is really not even clear whether she actually received the promotion.

@onewithshoes
...nor is it clear whether the OP @Dude5678 was posting another shitpost to draw attention to himself again, or if this alleged sexual interlude between female employee and her boss actually happened in reality.
It seems suspicious to me that Dude5678 would be made privy to both the female's motive for having sex with her boss, as well as her boss's motive of offering what appears to be a conditional promotion to the female. That would tell me that Dude5678 is either the female who had sex with her boss and now feels guilty about it, or Dude5678 is the female's boss who had sex with one of his employees.
If it's neither of those situations, then Dude5678 is bull-shittting us about this entire story.
