I worked for a large retail company where an attractive 40ish brunette held the title of “Regional Merchandise Coordinator”. She accompanied a particular male executive when he traveled around touring stores, but beyond that we could never identify her actual duties, function, or value to the company.

Later I had a female boss who was very accomplished and had reached Director level. They had a corporate shindig at the home office and upper management invited a cute young female colleague of mine to attend. Our boss gave her a pre-flight briefing and advised her to “only sleep with someone if you really think it is going to advance your career.”

It sounded like she knew from whence she spoke.

This explains a lot about some of the women I had the misfortune of working for over the past 50 years. I had long wondered why anyone would promote a person with a hole in her head. I guess I was focusing on the wrong hole.

Fifteen percent sounds about right to me.

Sometimes it is cloaked under "dating" but sooner or later you see them take a jump in the queue that is definitely not performance related.

This is from Business Insider who doesn't even have the credibility of a tabloid.

Outside of the source, women in the workforce resent other women who must have done something to get promoted into positions of incompetence as it puts pressure on them to do the same.

Women already hate each other enough as it is. Potential sleeping up the company ladder only makes it worse.

There are plenty of evil women who have no shame sleeping their way to the top for money and power.

I bet 90% of sleazy male CEO’s have slept with countless women within their respective companies as well.

These are but symptoms of why America is dying quickly.

Women sleeping with men who were decision makers in order to get ahead is as old as the human race.

America is dying quickly because the men who are decision makers now sleep with other men, underage children, goats, sheep and robots.

Everybody does it. Sounds like the DNC is nervous about Willie’s Ho.

15% of your workforce being brazen sluts seems about right to me.

With over 35 years in corporate world I too think that 15% is about right. But that's only about 7.5% of the total workforce.

Wait - ok you are correct (all males being dogs).

I worked in an industry where our workforce was 85% female.

But your point is well taken, women do not have a monopoly on bad virtue.

I bet the incidence in entertainment is probably >90%. I doubt there is a famous actress or singer out there who hasn’t strategically slept her way around. It is just the way the business seems to work.

The rest need more practice. {cymbal crash}

Sorry, guys, did not get enough caffeine this morning. On a good day I would have been in with that one by Post Five.

“Probably more than any single issue, this has the potential to influence voters.“

Ask President Dole how much it moves voters.

I’m surprised that the numbers are so low.

“In college women that showed their tits and flirted with the professors got benefits of grades or an easy academic route.”

Many, many years ago when I was a grad-student instructor, a busty blonde student in my class showed up at my office with a low-cut T-shirt on, leaned over towards me, and said “I’ll do anything to improve my grade in the class.” I replied, “my advice, then, is to study hard for the final exam” and escorted her to the door.

The difference is that back then most of our female voters were sitting around wishing that Clinton would harass THEM. When a female gets ahead thru sluttiness the other women around her have a very different reaction. Even if they engaged in this behavior themselves. Inborn cattiness is going to do very bad things to Kamala's campaign I think.
