sleeping with your boss
10 Answers
if someone sleeps with their boss, then i would assume that the boss would get fired or reprimanded at least as he is a superior. however, what reprimand if any would the woman in this case get especially if she claimed sexual harassment after the affair was over. surely she should get a slap on the wrist at least. also the woman was offered promotion at the time even though it was unbiased believe it or not, would she still get the promo afterwards if the boss was fired? maybe i should be posting elsewhere so excuse the duplication!

it's not illegal to sleep with your colleagues or boss, although it may be deemed inappropriate. I don't see why this would be a sackable offence. who has the woman cried sexual harassment to? (assuming this was a lie) the police? she could be prosecuted if this were found to be a false allegation. if she has reported this to her higher management and it was found to be false, I would say that is gross misconduct, and she may well be sacked.
I think it's wishful thinking if you're expecting an affair gone sour to result in your boss being sacked (ie; remove the cause of your embarrassment), and you being untouchable after making false allegations.. and still expecting promotion!
or am I reading this wrong? I assume you've also blabbed about this, judging by your other post.. or am I getting this all wrong?

the scenario was that the male boss was having big probs with his relationship at home and suppose sought solace in this girl at work for 6 wks. promo had already been discussed and was on the cards anyway and had also already been authorised by mega boss for it to happen down the line. after affair was discovered by boss's partner, they decided to sort things out and actually got married. the girl was told it was over, after 2weeks of threatening to go to hr about sexual harrassment. she finally did. the outcome was that the boss lost his job for gross misconduct ie, not being worthy to work there, reputation etc and not declaring an affair when promo was discussed and now she still remains. they didnt get him on anything re sexual harrassment just for fact that he was a senior and she was an office junior. it was a big risk for her to take by going and opening her mouth first i suppose. so in effect she cried sour grapes, wanted to seek revenge and got it. she still has her job but dont know if she would have been reprimanded too or given the promonow as the boss signed away all rights to take things further legally and got a small pay off. wonder if this girl will be seen as trouble in future and they will look for other ways to get rid of her eventually or as she apparently was so good at her job, would she get this promo, surely she cant be seen to be totally miss perfect esp. if they can see she had an affair. apparently she used some emails as evidence for sexual harrassment which she took out of context, which didnt count in the end anyway .it was weird because apparently as soon as she received it months before they even slept together, she copied it straight to herself on her own private email address. maybe she aimed to get promo, it was a set up ,though i know they did discuss their future together esp. as there was an age difference. so basically why is she still there and how will she be viewed now? it makes my blood boil!
I don't really understand why your blood should be boiling over this .Are you one of the people conconcerned or a relative or something.?
Employees and bosses have slept together since time began.Each one has their own agenda for doing so .
Providing that it does not cause discomfiture to others and the busines is not harmed by these actions -- what really is the problem.?
