    Good fences make good neighbors. Lots of people get jobs because of networking/ connections. That can backfire too. The boss was inappropriate -- the job should have been posted and vetted by a panel of 3 managers, not finding new employees through personal social connections or creating a job to suit an individual. Screams conflict of interest. She is disingenuous -- with a friend we do coffee or meet in a group. Dinner is a date. Didn't find her complaining about how she got the job, only losing it. By the sound of her CV though, she shouldn't have a problem getting a new job through legitimate means.

      She seems a bit too grown to be so naive. He gave her the poor me, I have no friends schtick, offered her a job she hadn't earned and she was surprised his intentions weren't pure? Was she a nun prior to meeting him? Unless she'd never been around men before, I don't see how else she couldn't have guessed he had ulterior motives. I mean he's obviously a predator who was entirely in the wrong, but how did she miss the giant stadium sized red flag he was waving? I guess the nepotism of it all was just too tempting.

I agree with your comment, she knew he had ulterior motives before she took the position, when he created two positions between them, so, as she said, he could date her. She said she knew what he was doing. That’s when she sent him a text “Talk”. I’m sure she enjoyed the attention, but thought she could control him - bad decision. You just don’t willingly put yourself in a position like that, a position made just for you, by a boss that is in love with you…sounds pretty sweet, just not very smart.

      @artm5294 - I agree, a lot of innuendo and beating around the bush. It’s like we didn’t get the straight story, which is unusual for a professional woman, who should be able to articulate clearly, without so many pauses. I don’t condone that man’s actions, at all, but she knew she would have to keep him at bay to take the job. I would never put my professional career on the line by putting myself in a position like that. I think, in the beginning, there was a relational power struggle that she enjoyed, one that she thought she could control. Why would she even think to text her boss and tell him that she was bringing a date to the dinner they were both attending…if they didn’t have a relationship before, why would that even enter her mind…sounds like a cat and mouse game to me. This just doesn’t make sense.

    I did not keep quiet either and had a file with proof a mile long. One day, they do it to someone who refuses to be itimidated… and shit hits the fan. Don’t stop now. Keep pushing, keep the lights on it. It’s the only way that will work.
    Yes, it’s hard and most victims are too scared for the retalitions to speak out. So are some of the enablers btw.

    Hmm 🤔 not buying this story. I think she lead him on for the Cush job and he felt totally used . He was guilty of thinking she would have an ongoing relationship with him.
    BTW… too MANY mouth clicks… WAY TO MANY .
    Do not lead men on! Do not use people.

      Not victim blaming but she should have bailed on the position very early on

    Interesting story Folks... corruption runs amok!
    Some production issues: I guess you are renting part of a factory but I would ask equipment be shut down during filming to prevent noise.
    The flowers are woefully out of focus.

    As a former state government administrator, it sounds like any semblance of competitive merit-based hiring is also a problem in Beaufort County. No offense to Ms. Lynch.

    Can hardly wait to see the next scandal coming out of Beaufort County Human Resources! Keep Emily Stewart in mind! Serious issues and errors there!
