no it's absolutely <10% loving dozens of subordinates each just like how theres always a subset of predatory men that predate on huge numbers of women each and otherwise blend into society because no one cares

in my experience in the corporate world it's a big rotating fuckfest of unmarried (also married), young, (also old) people.

strictly One Romance Per Person over a span of years, noted statistics-understander Aglet56 decrees

according to the article:

quote:

For some, the workplace has proved to be a decent dating pool. Of those who started a romantic relationship at the office, 46% said they had a relationship with one colleague, while 41% say they'd been in relationships with two coworkers. Fourteen percent said they've dated three or more people they met at work.

technically it could be possible for a middle manager to woo both their boss and one of their own subordinates, but there's no way for 30% of office workers to have a workplace romance and for 46% of those workers to have a workplace romance with their subordinates without about 15% of workers being managers who bone down with their reports

it's easy if they didn't sample evenly, and managers are simply overrepresented in who was polled. like statistics 101 poo poo here, no need for complicated theories

yes, but if this poll isn't a representative sample, then all we can conclude here is that sometimes people have sex at work

I used to work for a design firm with about 150 people and i can name at least 7 married couples off the top of my head in the firm and even more people who were clearly dating.

I on the other hand am happily married but have definitely had creepers come onto me at after work events and its very terrible so please dont.

Airlines would weigh the women regularly & they'd have to conform to these bizarre weight restrictions. You think BMI is bad? Welcome to the weight charts for airline employment that made me feel like a fat cow as a teen bc I was a massive 20 lbs over what this chart (as well as most weight charts of the time) said I should weigh:



(If you were under 5'3" you were ineligible to work as a F.A.)

Anyway, if any of you have older relatives who worked for the airlines as stews back in the day this is a good watch to see what they went through.

Oh man we have a family friend who worked as a FA for Eastern Airlines in the late seventies which was wild.

They used to say being a pilot was a "Cadillac Job" because you could buy a new one every paycheck. The partying was about as insane as you could imagine it, and the most attractive FA would get the international flights so they could party with the pilots on the layovers. The "24 hours from drink to stick" was more of a uh....suggestion than a hard and fast rule.

She never mentioned that scale, but said they had to be able to fit through a narrow ring or else they'd be put on probation until they could safely navigate the narrow aisles of the plane. This was the justification at the time.

She also joked that no one was overweight because they were all living on cocaine and cigarettes.

Well I was going to say there’s no issues with subordinates bc it’s a single sex workplace even on the academic and civil service side, but then I remembered there is extremely bad misconduct where the opposite sex is present. :(
