This was in an AskReddit thread about sleeping with your boss for a promotion. I do not know if this is a "low effort" post but it really got my blood boiling so I wanted to share.
IT IS NOT! 2 years ago, the guys around my cubicle were borderline sexually harassing me. I didn't want to bring it up with HR because I made that mistake with another company and that's a whole mess of drama I don't want to deal with again.
I went to my manger's office, hinting that my coworkers are pushing me to the point of quitting. He brings up a open position that pays an extra 75k per year that will have it's own office and I can stay there secluded for most of the day. The way he looked at me, I knew what he was hinting at. I asked him when he wants to talk about it. He says he'll pay for a motel and we'll both get off two hours before work ends. Nothing straight forward was said. I couldn't even text my husband for the rest of the day. I arrived and we were there for around an hour. No one ever got suspicious afterwards. Was it worth it? No no no NO! The next morning, I realized something very important. I didn't need that extra money. I could have just quit and found another job. Now I feel like an outcast in my family, a person who would sell out love for money.
I convinced my husband to put the extra money until our kid's college fund for a few years, and then until a vacation account for when they're in their late teens and we can go on a nice cruise, possible have them bring their girlfriends or boyfriends. I'm not spending a dime of that money on me, and I know that's not enough to make up for what I did.
She defends herself in the comments.
He hasn't and I don't think he ever got suspicious. I don't deserve to be with him. I haven't told only because of our children. They have a great life and I'm not strong enough to break that.
You would think this kind of mindset would be frowned upon? That redditors would tell her what she did was wrong and she should tell the truth? WRONG! Here is the White Knight reply that has Gold.
Unlike the other posters, I will say this: Don't tell him. All you'll be doing is wrecking his life and your children's lives to salve your own guilt. We all make mistakes, some much larger than others, obviously. The question is whether you learned from your mistake, and it sounds like you have. Learn from the mistake, forgive yourself, and work to make your family's life and your own the best it can be. That's how you do penance for a mistake.
And I am not even gonna GET into how this women went from going to complain about sexual harrassment, and ended up fucking someone who has power over her. She most likely loved it. AWALT
