[QUOTE="Ray Finkle, post: 2474533, member: 4981"] My first job out of school, I had a real nerdy boss who was a UT grad. He was in his late 30s and lived with his dad. Granted, this guy made 6 figures but still lived with his dad. I never heard him comment about a woman, ever (meaning like, wow, she's attractive). I really think the guy was an asexual dork. I get out of an 8 month relationship where I had thoughts about possibly settling down with the girl and it all hit the fan 2 days before a big company event. At said event, I have a 22 year old blonde sorority girl from Arizona State who is an intern in another department throwing herself at me (this girl is nails). We continue having drinks and meet-up with others after the event at a bar and this girl is telling me everything I want to hear at the times her tongue is not down my throat. My mentor, who was a total playboy, comes up to me and asks if things are over with the other girl---for sure, as this girl was extremely hot but no one actually marries a girl from ASU. I tell him things are over and he proceeds to tell me to get after it, as I owe it to myself. Game on. I'll stop there, so this doesn't sound like "Dear Penthouse Forum." This next day at work, I am getting lots of cheers. There are lots of proud associates and even Partners are proud of me. One girl from my group pulls me aside and we visit a little bit and said to continue having fun and it's cool to keep seeing this girl but no physical contact at company events, as she heard it was pretty heated later in the evening. We laughed and that was it. I leave for the day thinking, "Well-done, buddy." My boss never says a word. I honestly think he felt like he couldn't say anything, as he's never been in this situation. Then, in a performance review, he brings it up. The guy couldn't have a conversation about it with me but has to write it up 8 months later. He got ticked at me for a romance that was not forbidden by company policy and that my mentor, who was a Partner (higher ranking than him), encouraged. Of course, everything to him is 2nd hand gossip, so God only knows what he actually heard. I was already on my way out the door but this made my decision that much easier. Last I heard, he's in his 40s and still lives with his dad. Probably still a dork with a UT degree. [/QUOTE]
