Earth to Young Hottie: Don’t sleep with your boss!

Welcome back!

When you sleep with your married boss you run the risk of….Not so subtle

  • Alienating yourself from your coworkers (Trust me, they know what’s going on.)
  • Losing clients (They also know what’s going on.)
  • Getting caught by their spouse (Guess what, you’ll lose this battle.)
  • Getting fired (Exactly how you will lose the battle.)
  • Getting knocked up (Your child probably won’t end up with the corporate keys or the fortune.)
  • Getting dumped (If you still have your job, you will have to see him every day thereafter with a smile on your face!)
  • Losing friends (…unless your friends want to hang out with you and Mr. Over 50 when his wife is out of town.)
  • Being called out by his young child. “Mom, Young Hottie was over here yesterday when you were at the spa.”
  • Spending more on therapy (You’ll probably need therapy to figure out why you have put yourself in such an ass-backward situation.)
  • Losing the respect of those closest to you (Think: The Scarlet Letter – if you haven’t noticed, adultery is still looked down upon.)
  • Catching quite a few STDs (You think you’re the only one he’s sleeping with?)

You may temporarily…

  • Get ahead in your career (You’re not the only one getting…head.)
  • Make more money (In some circles this has a term.)
  • Have insider access to information
  • Have more influence when it comes to decision-making

So I ask you, is it worth it?

Don’t take this as a threat – it’s just the honest truth as I see it.  Unfortunately, I have witnessed quite a few of you who have dabbled in this arena.  It is a steep downward slope and you will be the one torn apart and alone at the end of the day.  I suggest putting your energy towards working for that raise and additional responsibility.  Now that’s an idea!

    2. Bravo Oliva!!!

    Don’t buy the lines and the attention, ladies! Instead of just a garden variety slut, you’re a career focused slut! And a career focused slut is a side step away from just being a prostitute.

    3. Sleeping with the boss is not good, but could give you an edge if you know how to handle it. The best advice is to stay away from the relationship to save heartbreak in the long run…

    4. Don’t do it. It’s plain and simple. Heartache and lost wages to follow. It is exciting to play with someone that you work with…flirt alot …..suggestive comments … but that’s it (whoops sounds like I did enjoy this one time) But leave the rest alone! Too much drama mixed up with a job…..in this economy! That’s a double NO NO!

    5. Unless……your boss is as rich as Donald Trump. Then, I think I could handle all of the whispers and murmurs from my coworkers.

Tell me what you're thinking...
