Fired for Being Too AttractiveFollow

You really aren't missing much. She isn't ugly but she isn't what one would call super hot. Average would be a good summation of her looks.

I am really torn on this. On one hand if she was dressing inappropriately and refused to wear less sexual clothing he could easily fire her for that. On the other he did carry a conversation on with her and let things slide for way to long. Sounds like he let his ***** think for him too much and now it is going to ***** him.

Aye she does but that really isn't saying much at all. There are a lot of women that look good in their 40s and a lot that don't. But I suppose that is just nitpicking over semantics.

Also my old man told me something when I started dating in high school. "Once you get married you can admire the flowers in the garden but you are no longer allowed to pick any of them, enjoy it while you can." I feel it is relevant to the situation at hand.

Or you could decide to be polyamorous or swingers.

LOL, I'm not being smug! Most people don't think about these things, so I'm just sharing my knowledge!

I'm fairly confident that the reason most people aren't swingers isn't because they're unfamiliar with the concept.

Just don't tell the old man on his death bed, no need to make his last moments nothing but regret.

True. But it's not like it's something that is socially acceptable or really talked about much aside from in a joking manner. I didn't really think about it until I stumbled across the idea on a feminist forum on myspace about 6 years ago.

Some people really hate sharing.

I think that's the crux of the issue right there. Most people don't like to share, especially if they've never thought of the concept of sharing before. When my boyfriend and I first got together around 5 years ago, I suggested the idea to him. He came from a very strict religious background (in fact he was still a virgin when we met), so it wasn't something he was ready to jump into. After we'd been together a year though, he brought it up again and said he was curious and wanted to give it a try. We had a bit of a rocky start, but overall it's been going well for us.

Slapping these together for relevance.



We can condemn his actions (and his wife certainly did), but she was clearly a participant in mutual flirtation. Sometimes, it's not about looks specifically, but that two people "click". They catch the innuendos from the other, think similar (dirty) thoughts, and feed off each other in this way. It's a fun game initially, but over time this will tend to grow into something beyond just flirtatious comments if the breaks aren't put on at some point. And that usually requires not interacting with the other person so frequently. So while it seems unfair, when this happens between an employer and employee, termination may have been the only way to end this process.

Sucks and all that, but it's one of the reasons why you should maintain a professional demeanor at work. She clearly went well past "attractive employee being hit on by her boss", and became a participant herself. At that point, she lost any high ground she might have had. It's an unprofessional work relationship, and the boss can't fire himself.

Man, I looked for one, but they are all either too inappropriate to post or totally don't actually understand what lesbians are... Sigh.
