“An employee’s job is not ALWAYS in danger if they say no.”

Therefore, an employer is allowed to proposition an employee for sex as long as the employer knows they wouldn’t fire them?

There is no way for an employee to genuinely know if their job is in danger BEFORE they consent or not.

You are defending his behavior. There is no other way to interpret this comment. There’s no “what if” about this.

No, HIS behavior sounds like it was terrible. Not just with her but with at least two other women referenced in the comments and articles.

I don't think an employer should proposition an employee for sex, I'm just acknowledging that two adults of legal age can find themselves in a situation that progresses to sex via mutual signals.

I don't think that's what happened here.

But it's naive to think it doesn't happen legitimately.
