You can ingratiate yourself to your boss without having sex. I have seen people doing non-sexual favors to then successfully get promoted. Not saying that sex with subordinate is OK, but that you have to ban all kinds of personal favors.
Lmao. No, one of those is not like the other. At all. Sounds like someone wasn’t paying attention during the harassment training. Basically you have a right to a workspace free from sexual harassment. The behavior described above is either explicitly harassment or getting close enough to it for people to get uncomfortable (and you have a right to not be made uncomfortable due to inappropriate/sexual work situations.)
You don’t have a right to a workspace free of social discomfort or pressure though. Feeling some pressure to bring them a donut isn’t protected in the same way unless it’s becoming harassment.
