Sounds like you answered your own question to this one earlier on.

And, you didn't follow through with riding her.

Good work. Stay professional and try to follow the same regulations you lay down for your employees as best you can.

I don't get all these replies pertaining to ethics and wrongness and such. Ethics is just a bunch of rules the elite thought off to keep the hoi polloi from having fun.

my response wasn't ethically motivated,

it was pragmatic, with the intent of keeping your job and business without being sued/blackmailed.

I based my opinion on TonyKing's predicament - clearly not short of hot women to lay and did not want to compromise his integrity, or perhaps somewhat more importantly (forgive me for putting it this way), the integrity of his company!

Good stuff Tony - no doubt she is hot as hell but it sounds like you've no shortage of them and can find many equally as hot who're not involved in your business. I know plenty of sexy girls who've worked together in the past and their opinion of their boss really goes downhill if one of them gets involved with him - regardless of whether he's hot or not or treats them well or like whores. Standard practice - it's either resentment or jealousy of some sort.

Sounds like you should've fucked her anyway since she left but considering her parting remarks - probably not worth your time bro!

it's the exercise of power.

everybody wants it.

everybody seeks it.

as a boss, you have all the power.

once you fuck your secretary, she has all the power.

and she knows it.

and it makes her hot inside, it makes her pussy quiver, and eventually it makes her do dumb things.

Its not only ethics, but also:
integrity/respect
troubles that will most likely occur because of that - she can start acting out, telling, even try to sue you or whatever

So there are MANY resons why you should not do that, not only ethics..

Completely not worth it as thisis just one single chick you have not banged, there will be tens of them in the future, or more..

Anyone that says he should go for that is not very smart
