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 dinner in London, if I book my flights and hotel he will afterwards reimburse me."[4]

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?"

1. What should she do? Justify in ethical terms.

2. Here's an answer posted by aznelepahnt5: "If he's good-looking, and there's a guarantee that you'll get better pay/promoted, then yes, you should do it."[6]

Make the case that she's ethically free to follow the advice, to say yes to advance her career.

3. Make the case that Chourok C isnotethically free to go to Milan with him in order to advance her career, regardless of whether she's attracted to him or not.

4. The poster called Srta. Argentina answers, "He can't fire you because you rejected his sexual advances.You can sue him if he does.And you can file a sexual harassment claim against him."

A. What is sexual harassment?

B. At what point in the chronology does the CEO's behavior cross from the ethically acceptable to the unacceptable? Why?

5. The poster called Skater Boi proposes an aggressive solution: "Get a voice recorder and record what he says. blackmail if he tries to fire you."[8]

It sounds like the blackmail Skater Boi is proposing would entail threatening a sex harassment lawsuit unless the boss gives her favorable treatment.

Ethically, is there any difference between the boss threatening to fire her unless he gets what he wants and her threatening to turn him in unless she gets what she wants?

If so, what is it?

If not, why not?
