Female partners beware
That stolen glance as your new trainee prepares due diligence packs may be more than innocent admiration of your superior legal skills. Although the idea that men have a thing for powerful women is not new, the numbers may surprise you. If a new survey is correct, 36 percent of male workers lust after female bosses .

That stolen glance as your new trainee prepares due diligence packs may be more than innocent admiration of your superior legal skills. Although the idea that men have a thing for powerful women is not new, the numbers may surprise you. If a new survey is correct, 36 percent of male workers lust after female bosses . Or to put it bluntly, more than one in three, which might seem a little overwealming when you consider the ratio of male to female workers in the average firm. (Imagine what it might have been like ten or fifteen years ago).
According to "Best Life" magazine, 92 percent of men have lusted after a female coworker and 36 percent have had the hots for a female boss.
But a workplace romance is not every guy’s fantasy…
About 25 percent of men admit they feel uncomfortable when a female subordinate flirts with them and 12 percent have chosen not to hire a qualified woman because they found her attractive.
Meanwhile, sexual tension in the workplace goes both ways. Nearly 57 percent of women workers have fantasized about their older male boss and the same percentage admits flirting with the old fella.
However, 81 percent of women employees also say they felt creeped out when an older male colleague tried to flirt with them.

there is an office junor and a trainee on our floor who i would seriously consider if they though my powerful position as an assistant solicitor was tempting enough; dress down Friday is such a bonus in the summer

well power may be aphrodisiac but it would have to be pretty effing strong for you to get drunk enough on it this office… most of the vintage ladies here look like they have spent the last decade or two sat on their arses chewing nettles. I’d rather go to bed with the lingerie section of the argos catalogue!

I find Rhohipnol is a good aphrodisiac, cetainly when combined with 2 bottles of Don Perignon and a Mercedes S Class. What else are trainees for? They don’t do anything apart from think they’re really important and bleed the expense account dry at networking events.
