I've name-changed for this one.
I work part-time in an arty/academic sort of profession where there's no money & people have way too much time on their hands &so I gatheraffairs are rampant. So maybe I shouldn't have been surprised by this: My new boss, an incredibly kind & soft-spoken chap, invited me to his house for lunch (we don't have an office; we all work from home) under the pretext of getting my input on a subject on which I have expertise. In my innocence, I arrived loaded with documents, books & materials for his perusal, & took the whole lunch very seriously. But then, after lunchwhich he cooked with a lot of carehe kissed me passionately, and urged to me to "stay a while. . .there's another train in an hour!" But I said I had to go, and practically ran out that door.
For some reason this experience, which I actually found physically upsetting, is causing me a whole "world view" shift. Does this sort of thing happen more often than I think? Does it happen a lot in the corporate world too? I feel incredibly naive. I'm from America, where we love litigation and people tread very carefully around this sort of thing. I wonder if sex in the workplace is marginally more acceptable here? I don't really need advice on this (I'm pretty sure I'm just going to ignore this incident)--but I just don't like feeling so in the dark about what really goes on.
