    The more you give the more you might get. True for many many jobs. But this is not forcing, this is not “have to”. This is setting you own boundaries. Like you do with every relationship, private, business, erotic (for lack of a better word) or not.

      I don’t understand your implication. You’ll have to spell it out for me please :)

          Like what do you mean? That work is like a relationship? I don’t get the comparison. Work is a totally different type of relationship because of the exchange of money. It makes it so you can’t walk away from situations at work that you would in real life

            Ah. I meant ‘relationship’ in the broader sense. Like the relation you have with any entity you interact with.

              Yeah I kind of started to figure that’s what you probably meant as I was writing my comment.

              I think we have pretty different views on stuff because I consider these necessarily way different relationships.

      So you think that workplace sexual harassment (exchanging bonuses or promotions or other benefits for sexual activities) is fine, as long as the coercion is only monetary?

          I have re-read the comment thread like three times and I don’t see any other interpretation.

          “just imagine like you had to kiss you’re boss on the mouth the unlock your full bonus” (textbook workspace sexual harassment)

          Response:

          • The more you give the more you might get
          • True for many many jobs
          • this is not forcing, this is not “have to”

          How is this anything but defending sexual harassment?

            I read the ‘kiss boss on mouth’ in the context of prostitution, where this might be agreed upon. Thought you asked me to take their perspective.
