Flirtation at the Office

USA Today is revealing some bad news for office flirts: those who flirt are less likely to see career advancement.

In the first study to make plain the negative consequences of such behavior, 49% of 164 female MBA graduates said in a survey that they have tried to advance in their careers by sometimes engaging in at least one of 10 sexual behaviors...

Some of the statements on the survey:

* I hint or imply that I am attracted to a man (men) at work even if I am not.
* I purposely let men sneak a look down my shirt when I lean over a table.
* I tell male co-workers or clients they look sexy or "hot."

Apparently, none of this behavior gets you ahead in the business world. Honestly, I think any reasonable person would have come to that conclusion.
