At Robert Half, there was a TCG recruiter who was a Dominatrix on the side. It was NOT known in the company. I was the only one who knew. At the time, I was inexperienced and naive. The whole time she worked there, I was fascinated with her life. I often wanted to experience what she did. Nothing ever happened. Although it was very distracting, I do not think it was toxic. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WAS THIS A TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT?

How could it be toxic if no one knew? Unless she was bringing whips and handcuffs into the office I don’t see how her personal life have anything to do with making a workplace toxic was she whipping people in the break room?

I agree. I was asking because some people are triggered. I was asking a genuine question about sex in the workplace. Then, people in this bowl harass me.

What someone does in their personal life does not make a toxic workplace. Was this person toxic towards you because of this? If no, that’s the answer.

Thank you.

It’s only toxic if they are asking you to be a part of it.

I would say her side job is out of her contracted hours and is private. The fact that she trusted you enough to tell you is a complement. It doesn't make for a toxic work environment, the only thing it may have done is your fascination distracted you. Again, a personal thing. As a side note, I would say her air of authority helps get the job done which surely is an asset.

Hi fishes,
I was wondering if I put down my resignation now. And in case after a few weeks I decide to stay back, can I withdraw my resignation?
