The “Sleep your way to the top” game has been going on for a long time. I suspect I saw it a few times at my old job.
However, I can also so that wasn’t a quid pro quo arrangement. The relationship started first, and the benefits followed.
I know more than a few.. well woman engineers, who not only don’t play that game, we be hard pressed to even THINK of playing that game. Hence why I had three twenty some year old women engineers in my office. They were not worried about me, and I had to keep telling them to leave certain topics of discussion out.
Not saying it hasn’t happened, or that it doesn’t, but there are very strict laws and rules in place. Those rules are in place for a reason
In your own comments, you provide the proof what I am saying is true.
There are procedures in place to prevent abuses. Most industries are not like the movie industry.
It would be absurd to state no sexual abuse takes place, but in the normal private sector, I do not believe the top female employees have had to sleep their way to the top.
It’s may take they earn those positions.
