20% of Brits would sleep with their boss to get a promotion
Checking monster.com for "British management" jobs :P


Fifth of British workers would sleep with their boss to gain promotion
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2009/02/19/fifth-of-british-workers-would-sleep-with-their-boss-to-gain-promotion-115875-21135121/



A fifth of British workers would sleep with their boss to gain an instant promotion, a study claims.

A further quarter would kiss their managers to get a rise - while another 17 per cent would consider it if the money was right.

But the poll of more than 1,000 workers found 39 per cent still believe in working hard to progress.

Lisette Howlett, of recruitment firm HireScores.com, said: "Impressing your manager can come naturally - without the need for underhand tactics."

5. As one time (noted skirt chaser) New York City mayor Jimmy Walker once said
when informed of a poll saying that 3/4 of women polled would sleep with a man on the first date

Walker said, "I am encouraged by this information but dammit WE NEED NAMES!"

3. Wonder if the reverse would work...
... would I get a promotion if I promised NEVER to sleep with the boss?

Mark.

7. Now, is this a comment on the unbridled ambition of British workers,
or the extreme sexiness of 20% of British bosses?

8. Oh, good God.
Even thinking about doing that makes me want to scrub down for ten minutes with a wire brush and Drano. I'll skip the promotion, thanks.

:puke:
