Would you go for your Boss if He/She hits on you?  email this discussion to a friend?

I don't want to endanger my reputation. People might think that I slept with him/her in order to get ahead in my career, and not because I'm simply good at what I do. I'd rather keep my work relationships professional and my personal relationships private. If he/she hits on me that's his/her problem. It really happens in the workplace. And I have a friend who really dates her/his boss just to get the promotion and it end up that all her/his office mates hates him/her. What if you have a friend or a co-worker what would you advice her?

I don't think I would ever put myself in that mess ever. I don't care what he would do to me or if I get fired. I don't think I could stomach the gossip around - most especially if you're really hoping for a promotion.

Similarly, I don't believe in a relationship within the organization. I think that is too complicated plus the relationship would be boring because you'd get to see each other 24/7 - which would be boring soon.

I think I would just honestly tell him that I wouldn't go for this one because we're in the same organization. But if he's interested, he could ask me when I leave. For sure I'd have no choice but to leave if he's really pursuing me, it would just be too uncomfortable.

I would never date my boss because, it will get ugly in the end, those two could end up have a big fight, and then she lose her job, just because you slept with the boss tell your friend, it's not right, and she is going to end up getting hurt, behind this if she don't listen, oh well let her fall and see how it feels.sadthumbdownthumbdown

Yes, you are right i always tell my friend about it and she always makes a promise that she would end it up. The worst is she is suspecting that she is pregnant. I told her to let go than to create another big problem. And if the real family of our boss knew it for sure it will be a big trouble. I advice her to let our boss know about it and try to settle things with him. What they would do with the baby if it will be confirmed that she is pregnant.

I make it a point to separate my work relationship from my personal relationship. I tend to shy away from superiors who are hitting on employees, and when I do see something like this, it tends to gross me out. A superior used to hit on me, but knowing the potential problems,and everything else, I told up straight that I have a boyfriend already and I'm not interested in anyone else. He took it as a joke, but didn't hit on me any more, except he would make jokes or remarks about the situation. If I had a friend that did this, well,I care for my friend, but if they're really in a good relationship and care for one another, I don't think I can stand in the way of that, no matter how much I think about a boss-employee relationship. First of all, it's their lives. Second, if they're happy about it, well, I really don't want to ruin someone's happiness. And third, as long as they're not obvious about it in the office, then I could care less.

i want to know her motives first. i dont want to take part about her 'thing' but i know that she's aware of the consequences that will happen. this also gives a glimpse of her real personality and values.

I think it would be much too awakward to be dating your boss. You have to see them everyday and work in a professional enviroment with them. If your boss is hitting on you or making advances towards you. You should report them for sexual abuse.
