A female worker at a tech company was recently promoted to a managerial position, but her celebratory night out with coworkers took a turn for the worse when they made inappropriate jokes about her relationship with her boss. The coworkers insinuated that she slept with him to get the promotion, which angered and embarrassed her. She left the celebration and later yelled at the coworkers when they tried to make amends. The woman's brother recommended she post her story on a popular platform to see if she was in the wrong. Read on to find out whether the woman was justified in her reaction or if she was in fact the a**hole in this situation.

Employee accused of sleeping with boss for promotions; faces investigation
A female employee at a tech company has been accused by her coworkers of sleeping with her boss to get promoted twice. After a celebratory night out with colleagues, the woman was subjected to lewd comments and jokes about her supposed sexual relationship with her boss. Despite speaking to her boss about the matter, the woman's coworkers continued to make fun of her and question the legitimacy of her promotions. As a result, the employee has decided to file a report with HR and an investigation is underway to determine if the employee was the best candidate for the promotion or if there was any wrongdoing involved.

This situation raises important questions about workplace relationships and how they can impact an employee's career progression.
