She’s right, she just forgets herself in her calculation. When everything is done she won’t have learned how it is to feel genuinely and be felt for genuinely, and that loss will weigh heavily.
Remember to always add yourselves into your equations, kids.
No, what you want to do is find a female CEO and get her really drunk. After she passes out, you cover yourself and her ladyparts with tomato sauce and red Jell-O. When she wakes up in the morning, she’ll think she gave birth to you and twenty to thirty years later she’ll give you the company because of nepotism. Easy peasy.
Unfortunately this person is correct in their reasoning. This is also why upper management is full of morons almost everywhere.
I mean she is right… If you don’t mind fucking people you hate, why not.
If I were capable of fucking people I hate my body count would be in the triple digits.
You don’t need to fuck people you hate to use relationships to climb a corporate ladder.
I don’t really believe in love as in some kind of sacred kinship - anyone will be compatible with some people they meet and not others.
This person is just saying that they don’t avoid dating or having relationships with colleagues.
This person is actively saying they date with other motives in the workplaces, not just that they don’t mind dating co-workers.
People date people with all sorts of motives.
People have been marrying people for money, status, or influence since the dawn of time.
What motives do you define as appropriate and what gives you the right to define them for others?
If someone wants to date their superiors then honestly, its the superior who’s most likely to be acting unethically.
They literally say in the post their main motive for dating in the workplace is career advancement and door opening. Thats not dating anymore thats basically a job. If you want to treat your love life as a carreer knock your socks off but the vast majority of people have more personal motives for dating and love making than climbing the corporate ladder.
Sorry where does it literally say its their main motive?
So yes I date at work.
Not because I’m looking for love. Because, in my experience, relationships open doors faster than resumes, certifications, or late nights ever have.
[…] I date at work […] Because […] relationships open doors
That explains why this person dates at work, it doesn’t say their main motive for dating at work is to climb the corporate ladder.
Everyone, stop feeding the troll
I’m not trolling.
I’m genuinely surprised that the fediverse is so sexually constrained.
As I’ve said elsewhere in this thread. People date people for all sorts of devious, manipulative reasons, and the majority of those reasons are born of self interest. When selecting a desirable partner, we’re hard wired to desire partners who can provide social stability.
They are saying they date people with power to move up the ladder lol
They just said the quite part out loud and you seem kinda threatened by that lol.
I’m more threatened by the idea that something so straight forward can be so wildly misinterpreted
This person is just saying that they don’t avoid dating or having relationships with colleagues.
How did you come to this conclusion when they say, without mincing words, that they date coworkers TO climb the corporate ladders?
I’m not judging her for it. She’s right about the lack of meritocracy
Sorry where does it say that ?
Sounds uncomfortable to the point of panic attacks but you do you
Sleeping your way to the top, but let’s not call it that.
But hey, if it works … and you can stomach it…
They are not calling them “Head of” for no reason. Remarkable skills and exmatricular activities are required for such a position.
It’s true what they say. In order to get ahead, you must first give head.
failing upwards.
They’re describing something that has gone on for hundreds of years - sleeping your way to the top
Bait
They are also describing some of the other ways people advance their careers - some of which are difficult for women to tap into (golf is the easiest example to point out). Sex just happens to be more available to women as a tool. The older I get, the less it bothers me - perhaps it’s the years of watching undeserved promotions and bonuses being handed out…
Whole hundreds!
It’s kinda curious that she doesn’t mention what doing this has allowed her to achieve (promotion, high position in a big company, etc). You would think she would put an emphasis on that to sell people on her way of life.
This almost sound like gambler logic. One more cock and I will make it big!
“Networking” was a thing even before the internet. It was one of the things I hated about the corporate/professional world. It is definitely who you know, not what you know. Look at the current usa administration. Talk about being out of your depth and out of your league.
0% chance this isn’t an AI written engagement bait post
I too think there is some satirical note to it but we have seen it all. An office flirt opens more doors than excel sheets can ever do. Also people react wayy differently to you whether you are attractive or not. Probably in antrophic expectation of implicit reproduction possibilities. I’ve seen both sides, however once you make clear there’s nothing going on besides professionalism the drop is harder as attractive person vs. getting no attention as ogre.
antrophic
Not a word.
I’m not even talking about whether it happens, the writing is obvious AI slop.
I find it very difficult to believe someone would put this on LinkedIn, not going to lie. But at the same time, I wouldn’t be surprised.
If they are atrractive enough i could see this being on linkedin. The hiring manager might think they have a chance and bring them on for that reason.
You know what, with the world in the state it’s in, I’ll buy it.
Happy cake day, by the way!
But has it gotten you anywhere?
Probably increased her paycheck
I have never been happier that my career path and strategy is nothing like this.
I would have hated my life so much.
They are doing late nights after all. Also, at one point of whoring yourself out you should be in a comfy position, no? Thinking of that head of HR and CEO on the coldplay gig. Like, how many people’s genitals you wanna lick until they finally give you the title “head of”. At some point being an escort must be more profitable.
Jim & Pam were ScrantonMogMaxxing
Ew dude.
