7% of Americans Have Slept With Their Boss

Well now that is interesting...

Korea Times:
Having sex with the boss is the fastest way to the top for an increasing number of Americans, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
As many as 17 percent of U.S. workers thought having an affair with the boss could lead to a better position, according to a "Best Boss" survey conducted by Adecco Group, a human resources consulting firm, on the occasion of the National Boss Day which falls on Oct. 16.
Seven percent of those surveyed confessed they had actually done it. So if you work in a large office, you might want to take a look around at the people you work with.
Managers have bonded more closely with employees during the Great Recession — usually in a Platonic way — communicating more, putting in more hours, diving in during a crisis, the CNBC reported. Workers have noticed the efforts and appreciate them.
The poll also discovered that one-third of workers were convinced they are smarter than the boss.

I actually think I believe this.  Despite the threat and risk of sexual harassment suits, people still do it.  Make any kind of law you wish, people are still going to have sex with each other. 

I am sure the recession is another reason why people have been doing it.  Do you think your boss is really going to lay you off when you've got the dirt on him?  That seems like a good way to keep your job.  Likewise, if you tell your family that the you need to work late that night, is your family really going to argue with you or question it if there is a risk you could lose your job?
