1 in 5 Brit employees don't mind flirting with
boss to get a raise!
London:
One in five Brit employees won't mind flirting
with their boss in a bid to get a pay raise or promotion,
a new survey has revealed. According to survey by
an online dating agency Parship, men are more likely
than their female colleagues to enter into a little
sexual playfulness with women bosses. While 19 per
cent of women admitted that they will use their charms
to get on, 25 per cent of men said that they were
willing to try it. On one hand, where over a third
of men are actually attracted to their female superiors,
finding them intelligent, self-confident, open-minded,
and honest, with good communication skills, a sense
of humour and a can-do attitude. On the other hand
only 17 per cent of women agreed that they fancy their
male bosses, a few even described them as ruthless,
domineering know-it-alls. The survey showed that male
employees were more in favour of an office romance
with 57 per cent saying they would date a colleague.
However, only 15 per cent of women think it is okay.
"Perhaps women have learned through bitter experience
that using one's sex appeal to get ahead at work can
backfire," the Daily Star quoted psychologist Dr Nafsika
Thalassis, Parship's "singles coach", as saying. "Women
who flirt with the boss risk having their bluff called.
"They are more likely to realise that flirting to
get ahead will be disapproved of by colleagues. Men
are less concerned that flirting will result in being
cornered by their boss. "But they should be wary -
hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. "The fun of
flirting lies in its maybe-I-mean-it, maybe-I-don't
playfulness, but it is often better to conduct relationships
with absolute clarity," she added.
