I just can't believe the secret relations that happen behind closed doors in the corporate world. And I foolishly thought going back for my masters would get me more pay! I'm shocked - totally shocked! Speechless!

OOooh! THis sounds like a doozy! What happened? What'd you see?

This was the topic on Desperate Housewives this weekend! And you know...it is so true and so common. Though when I was young and carefree...I guess I saw my share of hanky panky myself. So no judgement from this side of the keyboard!

LOL! Well...at least you're honest! I was always too scared (or maybe too dorky for the ladies).

Here is one for all of you... to close a multi-million dollar software deal, the sales execs took the company execs out on a boat and hired 'entertainment with the happy ending'(if you know what I mean), got them all drunk, and actually signed the deal right then and there! I just can't believe how many married corp. execs actually sleep around with the young blood in the office. Furthermore, I can't believe the types of entertainment that are visited to close a deal. I'd never do that to my wife.

holy crap! I would never do that to my wife either. The higher up you go, the less moral values you retain. Sad, but true. It's a freakin cess pool at the top and cess puddles on the way up!

I saw the same thing happen at my last job. A 20 something engineer quickly rose to management and went from being tolerable to being an outright a-hole. He once changed the locks on my lab/storage area, which could not be seen by anyone unless they went in through TWO locked doors (First one, then down a small hall..then another one) because he thought it was "messy" and would not give me a key unless I 'cleaned it up'. He then fooled around on his new wife with an intern and bragged about it. Oddly enough, 90% of the managers at this place ALL fooled around on their wives and had busted up marriages....

So sad: some of these icky types joke about mistresses and infidelity. Can't help but wonder what they are trying to prove. But then, it's no secret some men NEED a big checkbook to attract females because they have nothing else to offer. And some women are happy to prove they are right.

Well, I certainly didn't want to turn this into male bashing. The bottom line is women will be inappropriate as well to get ahead.

>The bottom line is women will be inappropriate as well to get ahead. < True, but I have observed more inappropriate behavior from high ranking MALES then FEMALES. I guess it goes back to that Alpha-Male thing....
Fly On The Wall(11/29/2005)
Southern Programmer, I'm a male, and I have to agree with you on that! Anyway, at the end of the day this nonsense is shocking business.

You guys probably won't like this one, but it's true and I had to share it. I had the displeasure of walking in on a male co worker at a previous job not once but twice...and yes one of each gender. No matter what I've done I cannot burn that image from my mind.

At one law firm that I used to work at, I had to work overtime one night until 6:00 pm. A partner's secretary was in his office with him, and I passed by the door. It was open slightly, and I heard her say, "You know I don't like that when you use your fingers like that." I just kept right on walking passed the door.

At one place I worked, the secretary was doing the boss, an office supply salesman, a handyman, and was living with a guy all at the same time. A co-worker had the water freeze at their place, and a number of us offered our bathrooms for a daily shower. The secretary sneered that SHE showered 3 times a day-and then bathed! We all chuckled when a female co-worker replied that "she'd need to...";)

Many years (Ok Decades) ago, I worked as a Graduate Assistant and had an office right beside an extremely large female GA who was having an affair with an obscenely large, hairy GA who wore a suit that was at least five sizes too small. Imagine Magilla Gorilla wearing Mr Peebles suit! Anyway, each and every morning these two would be pawing each other and I would just have to leave the area before I either threw up or laughed out loud. The thing that made it so funny was that the offices we had were not much larger than a cubicle and so these two barely fit in the office together (I'm talking HUGE) and it just made the whole scene very comical...

To each his own sex-life..........no matter how unattractive they seem to the rest of us. Everyone who is single and unattached is entitled to find a mate. It would be nice if they could keep it out of the office and not embarrass the rest of us and damage careers because they want a certain promotion for their beloved.
Walk the Planks(11/30/2005)
C, I agree with you. Keep it out of the office -- or at the very least, if you work together, keep it at your homes and behave yourselves at the office. It's so unprofessional!
SouthernProgrammer(12/01/2005)
>no matter how unattractive they seem to the rest of us > I did not mean to come across as if I was bashing the two due to their size though I can see how it was perceived as that. The main point of my post was the absurdity of the situation, those were REAL tiny offices! I have no cause to stereotype people as I am not exactly Mel Gibson, well, maybe if you saw me from 200 yards away in the dark and squinted you could mistake me for Mel...
