Should i sleep my way to a promotion?
I am an administrator for the sales team for a company that manufactures office equipment. I earn £17 000 per year but a sales executive vacancy has come up, £30 000 per year + commission OTE £35 000 to £40 000 + car + company phone and laptop. It’s a great job and I know I can do it, I worked in sales years ago before I had children. My boss has made it clear to me that I should apply and if I sleep with him I will get it. If I don’t I can take my chances with other applicants but I think we both know who will get it if I don’t.
It’s a horrible dilemma because he grosses me out a bit, but more because of this proposition. As a man he is quite good looking and has a nice ass and a good sense of humour. If I was single I would probably just do it, lay back and think of the money. But I am married to a man I love, I know we could use the money. My husband was made redundant a couple of years ago. He is working again but on a much smaller salary. He went from £50 000 to £20 000 per year. He knows about the job and has encouraged me to go for it, he said he doesn’t care that I would be the main earner, I know some men get freaked out by that but he’s fine with it. But he doesn’t know about the proposition. I feel I should just do it and not tell him, but then I would feel so guilty and also what would happen if he ever found out. I could talk to him about it but I don’t know how he will react or I could just not do it and forget the promotion. But we could so much use that extra money plus our car is going to probably need replacing in a year or so and I’m not sure we can afford it.
