Equality Myth: Should Women Flirt Their Way to the Top? Damn Straight, Says Forbes.

bbook:

newsweek:

Well this is sure to cause an uproar. In today’s ForbesWoman, author Jenna Goudreau posits that women who don’t flirt are ignoring “one of their greatest career assets”—a valuable strategic tool (if used effectively), she says, to climb up the corporate ladder.

…

We’ve tackled this issue before. But, um, without the photo gallery of “tips.”

Yes, excuse me whilst I go show some thigh and flash a winning smile to my bosses. Thanks for looking out for us Forbes but that ain’t going to fly with this broad.

What is this, the 1950s? I think the writer is watching a little too much Mad Men. Flirting on the job can send the wrong signals and potentially lead to uncomfortable situations. How about just doing great work?

Would the list for men include slapping their hunting game on the boss’s desk and beating their chest like Tarzan? Jesus Forbes, get it together. ;)  <— see what I did there.
