btyger,
Do you think that an SP in this industry in her mind has a realistic choice as to whether or not she can refuse to have sex with her boss, paid or otherwise ? There has to be power issues going on in her thought process or just plain, "I need this job so I guess I going to have to do it with him".
It's not as if she can go to the Norme de Travail (Worker's Protection Agency) for sexual harassement.
I remember being very happy to work for a big consultant. After all, I had work a lot to have the reputation I haved in my profession and tougth that the big thing came to me because of it.
After reniewing a couple of times my contract and several projects later, I had a meeting with my v.p. Obviously, he ask me to sign some conclusions that were very different than what my survey was saying...
I told him:''I don't think so!'' Ok, I do understand the game but I do understand also that there is always somebody that is trying to screw you up!! Especially when you are a woman ...
So I refused and he wasn't happy about it. So he told me what was my problem ... I answered ... well I know that what you are asking me to do his to lie and I didn't build my reputation on that. I am what I am, nothing more and certernely nothing less. He answered me: ''Well from now you are representing us and nothing else, so you will sign my conclusions''.
For the people who know me, you know already I didn't and even if my Director implored me to stay I have decided to put a term to my contract.
Weeks later, after 15 thousand dollard of tickets for bad procedures, the v.p. got replace by someone else and ... me I have kept my reputation to the eyes of the government!
I don't know what M. X his doing now, but I now I do have any favors from the people I worked for in the past because I did always helped and protected them.
So SL, you think that the girls have no choices, well everybody have a choice in life (better and worse), it depend only how they want to MANAGE that! Manage ...
If a girl does wanna have sex with her boss she can say so, she can also try to explain why she doesn't want to. If it doesn't work, well as someone else said, there is other agency's like there was other employers that was very interesting regarding my competences.
I'm just sorry to answer to that kind of statement because it is far away from the question!
Just my 2 cents ...
P.S. By the way, now the project is doing very good!
