trendious------> Promotion at the work place

 “Do you think it’s ok to sleep your way to the top?” my friend Mpho asked me one day. The top of what, I wondered. Or who? But before I could get any sort of response in she continued,
“It can’t be that bad can it! I mean, people always say that success is about who you know, not what you know.”

“Well yes,” I replied, “but not in the biblical sense.”
Rather than considering the moral questions that Mpho raised I was more focussed on the word sleep. I’m a student you see and would love to get some where in life ,as many of us would, I’m tired. I’m tired pretty much all the time; the only variable really is how tired I am. We all have some level of morality that we were born into and talents we were born with and there's always that one person we know how is "untalented" or rather has'nt found talent. Do we blame them for wanting sucess so badly that they sleep their way to the top? 
  

According to a U.S. survey, one fifth of workers would have a fling with their boss if it helped their career
That’s right, even one in five said they would have a fling with their boss if it would help their career and a similar number share connections with their boss through social networking sites like Facebook or LinkedIn providing a platform to get started on.

Striving for the boss's job is not a top priority, though.

With unemployment brushing up against 10 percent, those working say they feel special, and good enough to be retained. Most say they do not wish to take on the responsibility of their boss’s jobs and are happy just to have one, but would like the chance to grow in their profession .So do we place judgement on those who "Sleep their way to the top ? or NOT!!
