7%.
That’s the percentage of people who have admitted to SLEEPING WITH THEIR BOSS IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THEIR CAREER.
Let’s repeat that: 7%
Do you know what 7% looks like? Sure, you could do the easy math and say that it’s just 7 people out of your office of 100 employees.
That’s not so bad.
But if you work in a smaller office — let’s say an office of around 14 people… then take another look. 7% is the same as 1 in 14 people.

Web Watch is always careful when we visit with our friends who have small children to watch our language. After all, it’s common courtesy to not recite George Carlin’s list of Dirty Words in front of those who are too young to appreciate the nuance of language, or who may be offended overall by hearing words in polite company that would be later yelled out the car window at the a-hole who just cut you off in traffic.
