I just started as an audit staff and from my first interview I could tell that the partner was interested in me, romantically. Last week he took me to lunch and tried to kiss me. What do I do?

You don't want people to think everything you've accomplished was because you slept with the partner. Nobody else will want to work with you, and the partner can only cover you for so long. If you do continue with this, just go out of your way to keep it under wraps and work your ass off to impress the other people in your office. I've been in the same situation, but it's worked out for me so far.

So she's a diverse hire and a troll? I think that's very progressive that diversity initiatives seek to ensure that trolls are fairly represented in our workforce and not discriminated against. Just because they live under bridges and per dungeons and dragons rules can only be killed by fire or acid doesn't mean they can't be successful auditors too.

So we have another one! Every few weeks a sex starved partner targets a staff. That crap does happen but no where near the frequency that is reported on FB. If it did happen report it now. Don't wait. Most of us are just hard working folks who care for our families and hang out at our kids soccer games on the weekends

OP is definitely trolling. But if they aren't, they don't want to be taken seriously professionally so while the advice is nice, it's wasted on someone who wants to coast through life on good looks. I may be jaded but OP isn't fooling me with the "innocent" "I had no idea what was going to happen" game.

"I'm a diversity hire" tells me everything. This woman flirted to get the job, led him on the get easy jobs, and doesn't actually want to work. You are such a stereotype and no one in the office will ever respect you. You're worse than someone who sleeps to get to the top, because you don't even want to put in that effort. If this seriously bothered you, you wouldn't have flirted with him in the first place.

Honestly I'd try and get out of that whole "relationship". You getting some free utilization isn't the biggest deal. Also - I get access to a few codes I can use for a rainy day (and I'm a dude) so it's not like it's all that rare to get that special treatment. But you do you I just overthink things and expect the worse. But just make sure you document EVERYTHING.

He didn't actually kiss me as I backed off right when he was about to (tactfully of course). He has even started sending me personal texts

Is that the Partner Development code? I got a few of those. Unless this is something I'm not aware of. I have a zero code for one of my clients that I save for a rainy day.

But eventually his kindness will wear off if this is all true.

You must have shown him you're somewhat interested, or he wouldn't have gone as far as to try to kiss you. Live it up, just don't cross the line. You don't want to feel like you owe him anything later on.

That could be it but I'm not sure. I figure I'll eventually have to have sex with him if I intend on making it to manager before I go industry
