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.

    I mean she is right... If you don't mind fucking people you hate, why not.

    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.

    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.

    What do you think "because" means?

  • source

    "I poo at work because I get paid for it".

    That doesn't mean my primary motivation for pooing is getting paid.

    Except that interpretation falls apart with the prefatory "not because" clause.

    "I ___, not because ___. Because ___" is an explicit clarification of intention or motivation. "I poo at work, not because I have poo inside me that needs to be expelled. Because it's a way to get paid for not actually doing work" is a more accurate analogy.

    “I , not because . Because _” is an explicit clarification of intention or motivation.

    Sure, but is it a clarification of intention or motivation for dating, or for dating at work.

    I poo because I have poo inside me that needs to be excreted. I poo at work because I get paid for not actually doing work.

    There's lots of benefits to dating - companionship, entertainment, engagement, sex, and so on. In some cultural settings in some demographics it's an expectation that single people will be dating. This post isn't explaining why she dates, but why she dates at work.

    See that's the thing, any interpretation is possible if you just ignore the explicit context.

    The explicit context being... someone explaining why they date at work.

    Yes. And that explanation being that it's more effective than other methods of getting promoted. That's the reason why.

    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.

    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

    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...

    Unfortunately this person is correct in their reasoning. This is also why upper management is full of morons almost everywhere.

    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.

    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.

    "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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    If it doesn't get you promoted, at least you get to have sex. So I guess it's better than most strategies.
