Talk about a bad day at work…

Some may not want to read this story (describing disturbing sexual behavior at work), but I think it highlights an important lesson - there’s a real downside to allowing supervisor-subordinate relationships.  I’m sure that there are thousands of workplace romances that have worked out for the best, but I’m likewise sure that there’s no effective way to prevent this kind of he-said, she-said claim.  Does your company permit supervisors dating subordinates?  Is it outlined in your handbook?
