When it comes to fairness for all at work, being considered for promotions, etc— encouraging laxness between supervisors & subordinates is unhelpful to curb bias. Kiss-asses at work and folks who play to mgmt are already an issue. Imagine when one is actually kissing boss’s ass.

*It was consensual* what is truly a free choice if, in your calculation, flirting with the boss is the best way to pay bills. I’d rather live in a culture that puts the burden on managers to avoid putting the burden on staffers to decline.

"neo-Puritanical" is a good description of where we are. Our current trajectory is towards Victorian-prudish behavior norms only with different underpinnings.

There's anecdotal evidence that he gave preferential treatment to the employees he had sex with. Regardless, the relationship itself adds, at a minimum, a haze of professional/workplace impropriety. One of the two consenting adults in uneven work roles should quit in these cases

FWIW my grandparents met in radiology school. My grandmother a student and my grandfather her teacher, who went on to be her boss. They had a torrid affair and were soon married, remaining so until his death some forty years later.

And yet in many other instances such a scenario could end in a young woman being “ruined” by the standards of the day. A few good stories do not negate the issues present in many similar situations and power imbalance.

It was wrong to sleep with subordinate and no amount of spin can change that fact. It's a line adults cross fully acknowledging consequences like a bad relationship resulting in job loss, legal liabilities, office innuendo, etc. Jordan's actions were even more flagrant.

I don't think Jordan's response in Medium was unwarranted given the seriousness of the crimes he is being accused of, his platform and his reputation is at stake. He needed to tell his side of the story and give enough detail as necessary for to be believable.

Being accused of rape, especially if it wasn't rape...nothing can prepare you for that. There aren't guidelines for this. Anyone accused of anything they didn't do is hard. I wouldn't want any of these people on my jury.

The situation is like reading a "don't do this" manual from my 30 years at Big Blue. You can call it puritanical if you have to, but requiring professional behavior does good things for organizations.

It has to be okay to doubt. Doubt isn't calling anyone a liar. Certainty is calling someone a liar. Certainty says I don't have to reserve judgement. It says I cannot wait to react. I want it now!! Impulsive reactive certainty is ignorance dressed up as righteousness.

Michael, this is pathetic. Try googling "fraternization laws" or asking a few employment lawyers how wrong you are.
