Managers out there: 90% sure partner (male) is sleeping with a staff (female) on the engagement. What would you do?

Since @c1 is waiting for me to weight in, I have to oblige! The partner's behavior (if true, since you are not 100% sure) is definitely wrong. On the one hand I would say that reporting to HR would be appropriate, if you are sure of this and if it particularly if it affects the team dynamic. On the other hand as someone else pointed out there is a high risk of ruining that woman's career, and that would personally make me think twice about it. And this is the second or third post about a similar situation at EY, what is happening over there, are EY partners that horny and sex deprived? Finally, someone is spending lots of times thinking about other people's sex lives, where the F are my slides!?!

That was fucking awesome. Based on all the insightful feedback that P1 has provided, I wish I could send him a bottle of whatever he wants (under $100, I'm still only an SC hahaha)

Nothing. That isn't your fight and throwing a partner under the bus could hurt you. It's not like it isn't consensual

Report to HR (anonymously if need be). Consent is very questionable with that kind of power dynamic.

Ok, you guys make me feel young(er) again ;). I won't disclose my age (done that somewhere else and there are at least 2 other partners that I know of on here so you'll have to guess), if I do I'm afraid I might lose my anonymity! @manager1, now not only am I feeling younger but also sexy, nice! @pwc3 I stumbled upon this thread ;). @D5 I would say a bottle of Dom perignon would be great, but a bottle of Veuve would fit your budget and make me nearly as happy

I got to know someone thru work, and flirted a bit over 1 week. Then we never spoke again because of work geography. He reached out this week after 9 months+ asking for a visa sponsor to take a vacay in my country (given mobility restriction these days), and asked me to hook him up with a business visa referral letter thru my connections. He also said he’s coming with gf. I said im happy to write him a personal reference letter, but wont be able to get him a business one. Is this rude?

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.
