[@shantanuranjan5462]

​@@GotzereiWhy will prostitution ever be respected when consent is bought. Also many women are trafficked into it. It's literally abuse.

[@proctologistbarbie]

the unethical part isn’t the individual act of Meredith trading supplies for sexual acts, it’s her doing it on BEHALF of the company. it’s illegal for companies to prostitute their workers out in exchange for goods/services which is why any normal company would’ve fired her for violating the very ethics code they set down to protect their employees.

[@taxicorky]

I agree. I wouldn't say the company prostituted her though as the company didn't even know anything about it, nor (as far as we know) is she feeling any pressure from the company that she's underperforming or something. This was soley her decision so it's a unique situation

[@G1NZOU]

@@taxicorky Exactly, the company didn't even know but as soon as they find out they have a legal obligation to stop it, cause if it came out that they had knowledge and let it continue, it would in the eyes of public opinion look like condoning it. Before they knew they were legally safe cause they never asked her to do that or had knowledge that she was doing it.

Pat when Michael shoves Hollys lunch in the garbage “He’s playing 4D chess, now she has to go to lunch with him.” Does Pat not realize that this is exactly why Michael is terrible and this move is completely obvious to anyone? Does he think others don’t understand what Michael is doing and he is some mastermind that just “gets Michael”?

meredith did say she would not do it if it wasn't for the discount. but it's not like anyone forced her to make that deal. she just chose to because the inconvenience of sleeping with him was not that big a deal to her. clearly she's not traumatised by the rumpy pumpy. they have to put a stop to it once they find out though to cover their backs.

I work at a Medieval Times as a server but before I transferred to serving I was in the retail department, one day I was just selling a sword to a a man who looked like he was in his late 20s/early 30s and a women who you could tell she was a little older than him. After I rang up the sword she went to the car to get her credit card leaving me and him to talk, he goes in to tell me that I need to get a sugar momma explaining how he met his….long story short his explanation was that it just happens/ they find you. So I think it’s luck/ happenstance. There’s also probably ways to put yourself in a position to get one too.

[@andychow5509]

You guys missed IMO the biggest issue. So-called "time theft". In a non-manufacturing, non-service (i.e. hospitality), so-called "time theft" is the biggest scam and counter-productive statement. While there may be 1-2% of employees that hide in the bathroom to avoid work, most people actually like to work. When I worked (I've been retired for a decade, retired at 36), I'd get so messed-up in a project or model, I couldn't see the trees for the forest. Since my deadlines were measured in months, not minutes, I'd often go for a walk around the block, to breathe and "empty the cup" as I called it, then return and look at the presentation or whatever it was, trying to imagine I was looking at it for the first time, trying to imagine defects or objections. I surpassed all my peers, and made the corps I worked for magnitudes of order more than what I gave them. I can't recommend going for a walk around the block, or going to another department to "waste" time fishing having non-mandated conversations. If anything, by and large meetings are the greatest time-wasters, and mostly that's what middle-managers do all day, the same people that will scold you for taking 5 minutes in the washroom.
