Do people who are being extorted, always have to feel that they are?
I once had a manager fired because he was withholding a promotion from his subordinate because she didn’t go out with him for drinks. He only asked her twice in 6 months. She told HR that she didn’t feel pressured. However HR told her that her promotion was approved but that her manager did not follow through because he wanted a date.
This has been debunked a thousand times on this forum, and yet it still comes up over and over. It seems absolutely pointless to debate this with you or many others here.
It still amazes me how it keeps coming up though, A+ for persistence.
