To clarify, I don’t mean an employee sleeping with their literal direct boss. Here is what I mean: if a 23-year-old police officer is in a romantic or sexual relationship with a 57-year-old police captain, sergeant or lieutenant, then that 23-year-old police officer should be promoted to detective or something or at least have some authority in their unit. Now that’s just an example; this goes for any job: firefighter, doctor, military – anything really. If you are old enough to consent to be in a relationship with someone who is a higher rank, then I think that should qualify you to at least move up to some degree.
I’m not saying give that 23-24-year-old the biggest position in the job, but move them up a rank or two.
What happens when the relationship breaks down? Does the person get demoted back to their original position?
They have to wrestle for the job. Winner keeps it, loser walks.
