This is regarding “Honey, you’re not a victim,” by Anne Taylor Fleming. So we are to believe that the 18-year-old temptress seduced the 47-year-old executive at her workplace. This type of relationship is grounds for termination in any business except politics. Sexual Harassment Training 101 teaches male supervisors that a smile, engaging personal conversation or compliment are not invitations for sex. Supervisors are taught that women are more personable than men.
Yet men of all shapes and sizes convince themselves that the giggly, lock-flipping, curvaceous, engaging woman in the office is after them.
Any seasoned and ethical executive or manager would avoid relationships with subordinates. A relationship between a manager and employee compromises the employee, the manager, the business and any marriage involved. The person in power is abusing his or her position by engaging an employee in a relationship.
