Guru is often asked by disciples: "How do I get ahead at work?"
The conventional answer obviously is "hard work, ethusiasm and ambition" - or is it?
Another piece of tat from the Institute of Pointless Research has found that one in five British workers would rather have sex with their boss for an instant promotion than put in hard work to impress them.
That's right, Brits would rather climb the career ladder as a consequence of their bedroom skills than their workplace ability. A futher 26% said they would kiss the boss for an automatic promotion.
If your boss happens to be a hunk or a hottie, then this should be a no-brainer. However, the survey has no word as to what bosses think about this proposal. Surely they would have some say in the matter?
When Guru was a respected HR chief, he was forever promising instant promotions for his HR underlings in return for, ahem, after hours tuition. Alas to no avail - the staff would prefer to get on by more conventional means than laying on their backs (or over the desk).
