Shacking up with your boss

    Reading an article in today's Star [Do it for work, not by choice, before you judge me :P]

    It claims that "97% [of people polled] say it's OK to bed boss"
    "The vast majority of Irish people would have no problem bedding their bosses, according to a new survey.

    Just three percent of people surveyed reckoned it to be a taboo to hook up with their employer - everyone else seems to think it's perfectly fine...

    A spokesman said yesterday 'It could be the recession and recent redundancies that have Irish people trying anything to keep their jobs. Or it could be our new-found relaxed attitudes that result in only three percent of Irish people thinking it's taboo to hook up with their boss.

    Well, what do you all make of that?

    If my boss was a super sexy woman with a fantastic personality I would have no problem

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,572 ✭✭✭WeeBushy

    Absolutely. I never thought management was my cup of tea before but if 97%of your staff want to engage in hanky panky then it's all good.

    I would have thought 97% would have said that their boss was a c*nt


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    That sounds bogus to me, who the hell did the poll and what was the exact question ?

    (Also in the 3%).

    You won't believe this. Who did the poll?

    "The survey was carried out for the launch of Tuc Craks - a mix between a crisp and a cracker."

    "Hi there, speaking of crackers, would you ever ride your boss?"

    :P

    I think you're misunderstanding it.

    Question is would you shack up with the boss, if they were attractive, not would you shack up with your current boss.

    Point of the article is people would ride the hottie despite them being their boss


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,347 ✭✭✭Sean Quagmire


    If by shacking you mean 'punch' and by bed you mean 'repeatedly', then yes I would love to..

    Hmm, I take it back if I worked for Marley Shelton I would.

    If it was a situation like the movie secretary, I'd totally be into it.

    Seriously who would be that desperate to suck off the manager of Burger King to keep your job?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,257 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    I've bedded a boss a few years ago.

    I've made out with another a few times.

    Now that I'm in the boss position I've slept with one or two of the staff from other areas of our company, but not my own direct staff.

    **** it, have fun :)

    I had a sneaking suspicious that soemone would say that. Which is why I explained in my post that I have to read it, as part of my job.

    Of course, having such basic literacy skills, I get someone else to read the papers for me...

    :pac:

    If my boss was hot, oh and a man, of course I would!

    I'm very interested as to how they carried out that survey exactly! On the street, giving free samples of "Craks" to the public - "Yeah, a mix between a cracker and a crisp. So while we're on the subject.... If your boss was a ride, would ya?!!" :confused:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,650 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    The Bosses of the company I work for are my dad and my uncle. That would be weird.

    Although i am a supervisor, and I would sleep with alot of the female staff who are in no way related to me who I supervise. Especially the Spainish and Brazillians!!! Can you say Sha-Mon.
