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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
"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.
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!
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.
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.
But did you do it to fuck your coworker into emotions and giving you a better position, after which you dumped the person to look for next opportunity?

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.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 45d
This person is actively saying they date with other motives in the workplaces, not just that they don't mind dating co-workers.
fizzle@quokk.au · -13 pts · 45d
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.

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.

They are saying they date people with power to move up the ladder lol
fizzle@quokk.au · -11 pts · 45d
They just said the quite part out loud and you seem kinda threatened by that lol.
glimse@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 44d
I'm more threatened by the idea that something so straight forward can be so wildly misinterpreted
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

Sleeping your way to the top, but let's not call it that.
But hey, if it works ... and you can stomach it...
Waterpumpee@lemmus.org · 12 pts · 45d
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.

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.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 45d
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.
