Indecent proposals on the Internet

Just when you thought that the Internet cannot get any seedier, a new forum has been set up for employees to grouse about their bosses.

And among the complaints, it seems, are on a indecent boss-to-employee proposals.

Shinmin Daily News reported how one 34-year-old netizen who went by the username "Sick" in the forum, Sgboss.net, complained that he has been sexually harassed by his younger, 27-year-old female boss. He related that his boss dropped hints to him on several occasions that she was interested in him as a sex partner. When he refused her requests, she began abusing her authority to make life in the office a living hell for him.

"There were some projects which I had no involvement in, but she told everyone in the office that it was due to a bad suggestion from me that the project failed," Sick wrote in a post.

Sick then stressed that while he did make suggestions about the project, he was not part of the team.

When his boss realised that her tactic was not working, she tried to use 'soft methods', such as asking him to go shopping for lingerie, and asking him over to her house on the pretext of fixing her television, to seduce him instead.

Another Netizen, SoCharm, also complained of sexual harrassment at work. He identified himself as a 27-year-old marketing analyst with a 40-year-old male boss who keeps propositioning him.

SoCharm wrote in his post: "It's not that I don't respect gays, but if a gay boss keeps doing this to his subordinate, I find it very hard to have any respect for his sexuality."
