After a HH my direct report kissed me. She apologized later… If only she wasn’t my direct report… because it was hot.

Taboo is always hot. If you’re cheating on your partner, even better.

I know - I’ve seen it too in family. I was kidding A1, no worries 🫂

I’ve never put myself in a situation where a direct report felt comfortable making that kind of move. Maintaining clear professional boundaries is part of being a manager.

Oh neither of us drank anything that HH and I did not make any move at all - but if it makes you feel better, you can make up notions in your head about what happened. Just because I thought it was hot didn’t mean I asked for it.

Hellooo?? You need to report this to HR to protect yourself. No matter if she apologized, this can put your entire career at risk if others saw or if she tries again later. Get rid of her lol. You are a Director and firms are looking for expensive overhead to chop. Protect yourself.

Thanks - this comment chain definitely scared me a bit, but gave me some good things to think about!

Are you both single? Could be worth making her not your direct report anymore…

Why did she think it was acceptable to kiss you? Has she apologized or acknowledged it since it happened? While hot, she crossed a boundary and even if you did not reciprocate, you need to be damn careful since she’s a direct report. Stakes are are higher.

Did you wake up from your dream yet? 😆

Have an interesting scenario. Holiday party season is approaching. At one of our parties (during working hours) there is an optional “talent show.” Employees can win door prizes. We have an entry that is a religious song - like one you would sing in church. I assume we need to let this employee perform this - or we are setting ourselves up for trouble. Likewise, if we permit this song, I assume we cannot compel attendance to the talent show. The talent show is part of a lunch thing.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

I blacked out and hit on a coworker at a work-related event. I would never have normally done it (aside from the stupid amounts of alcohol in my system) and they are in a committed relationship, making everything so much worse.

No idea how I’m going to interact with them in basically every meeting I have for now until I leave the company.
