you are right, power dynamics only come into play on poor ppl. CEOs should be allowed have atleast single digit mistresses in the office who they promote beyond the poverty threshold to have an affair with them.
If they make over half a million total comp, all good right?
It's certainly a false equivalence to suggest that someone rich and smart, probably with alternative options and something to gain, is in a similarly vulnerable space as someone for whom losing their job means they're on the street by the end of the month.
