MODERATORS
You can not have sex with your employee or employer. The power dynamic ensures it can never be totally equal and there will always be some duress. If someone holds the power over your finances including your health insurance, saying No is never that simple.
I never thought of it that way. I always thought of it as "don't shit where you eat" because I ain't at work to make friends. I'm here to get shit done.
It's both, really. After some misadventures in my youth, I have refused to engage romantically with anyone in an organization I'm employed by. "Don't shit where you eat." As I have moved up to supervise others, it goes doubly so for people within my chain of command. That would be highly unethical.
Essentially, one is practical advice and the other is a matter of ethics. If you follow the first, the ethics are easy.
You never had to sit through a sexual harassment training where they explain quid pro quo?
Numerous times, and I may have even paid attention once or twice. I generally don't do anything involving harassment because its wrong and immoral, because having relations with coworkers is not what I consider morally acceptable due to the risks to anyone involved in such an affair and in general, against my own moral judgement.
And I have SEEN harassment in the workplace.
I think it's healthy to have clear boundaries with coworkers, they are not the same things as friends.
That said I spend 41 hours a week working, no way I'm not going to socialise with my coworkers. If I don't make any friends after several years of working at a place I feel I have done something wrong.
They were dating before he hired her, also mentions that hiring her was a mistake
She says they were never dating.
I must have missed that in the article
It wasn't in this article. It is here.
Honestly best take. There's a lot to this story I'm sure and I think it needs to be discovered in a court.
I'm hopeful it's a truly fair court case as everyone has their right to their day in court.
