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.
