[quote=Anonymous]OMG, OP, shut up.  You are making this into way more of a drama than it has to be.  I find the HW situation depressing and horrifying.

I am pretty sure the I'd sleep with my boss thread was started merely to stir things up.  Instead of stirring up trolls on that thread, it's managed to stir you up to the point where you're acting like a whiny, hysterical baby over how awful such a thread is on such a day.

I just listened to an interview with the head of HBO documentaries, who wrote an autobiography.  It was a few days ago, so I don't have the details right, but she was pretty upfront about how she slept with a boss to move up, and had she not done it, she would not have the position she has today.  It happened in the 60s or 70s, I believe.  The world is different and not so different today.

I think Jeff is right- there clear abuse of power in HW.  THere's seeming and use of what power you might have in planning to sleep with your boss to get ahead.  And there's a wide area in the middle, where it's not so blatant and obvious, or the power dynamic is real but on a whole different scale (the example of the minimum wage worker who needs to keep her job).  if this HW debacle does anything positive, it could be to bring discussions out into the open.

Don't be a stereotype of a precious snowflake who can't bear discussions of which you disapprove. [/quote]
