An offer she can or can't refuse?? HELP!?

Question

Ok, so my friend is a single working mother at a hotel (she does room cleaning) and she is having trouble paying the bills etc.

She is a VERY attractive woman and gets a lot of attention from her boss. He, according to her, came to her this morning and said he had heard about her financal struggles and made her an offer.

If she "serviced" him (no vaginal intercourse but everything else) that he would promote her to a customer service rep (way more money and benefits).

What should she do? Take the offer or should she sue him? (no documents backing her up that he made the offer though, only her word)

Answer 1

If she took his offer than I think she would feel bad about herself forever. I am sorry, but no amount of money is worth selling yourself. There are other options out there for her. Give her my email address and I can hook her up with a really nice business online that won't cost her anything to begin!

About reporting him, you are right. Who will they believe? Are there any witnesses? Anything at all? Anyone else that he has tried this on? So sorry to hear that people are like that.

Answer 2

She needs to get a new job. Nothing is worth prostituting yourself.

If she refuses, he will make her life h**l. If she agrees then she can make a lot more money working the street (and it's the same thing).

Answer 3

This is sexual harassment - specifically quid pro quo which means "this for that".  She should bring it to HR's attention immediately - the longer you wait the harder to prove her side.   HR should immediately do an investigation - it's their duty.  If she told anyone in the hotel of this situation she should name them in the investigation so HR can speak with them and also name anyone who may have been in earshot or can vouch that this manager is has a reputation, etc...  Chances are there would be some sort of  camera/video in the hotel and possibly in the area where this conversation took place - so that can help her case.  

Good Luck -

Answer 4

She should purchase a very inexpensive small digital recorder. Have that conversation with him again, tape it and say nothing to him about recording it. Go home make copies. Walk into HR the very next day and give them the recording. She can really only sue him at this point and it is only her word against his so nothing would realistically come from it. If she shares proof with HR and they don't take appropriate action then she has a real law suit.
