Sexual Harrassment
The question posted by Chourok C on the Yahoo! Answers web page begins this way: I just started this job 2 weeks ago as the CEO’s personal assistant. He is married 3x and is a very charismatic man, the CEO of a self-built multi-million empire. After a few days, he suddenly asked me if he could take me out to diner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me. [1] It was then, she relates, that she knew he wanted to sleep with her. In her words, she’s “totally not interested, but wants to preserve the job by not rejecting him.” So she made an excuse to get out of it and her post continues: “He then bothered me for hours about giving him good reasons why I couldn’t go. Then he said OK, next week we will go to Milan! He is a very powerful man, and I just get nervous of him. But I really do not want to lose my job. What should I do?” [2]

I will have said the job position requires travel time, that he mention that when she was hired.

I think they both are ethically wrong. If she put him a lawsuit for sex harassment. He will befired. If she decides to blackmail him, he can put a lawsuit for blackmail him. If she set no, he will fire her anyway.
