This one is pretty cut and dried. When there's a power disparity between two people, flirting's not ok. Well, there's flirting and then there's flirting. Real-life example, which I observed from the sidelines: . Mr. A is a new hire. Mrs. B is the senior non-management team member. Someone gets flowers sent to them. Mr. C decides it would be amusing if they ended up on Mrs. B's desk, with a note saying they're from Mr. A. An hour or two later when Mr. A realizes he's just being hazed and still has a job, he decides to take the joke and run with it. This leads to several years of the most absurd and blatant come-ons you can imagine. Several years later, Mrs. B is the official team lead and Mr. A is reporting to her. The blatant flirting and absurd come-ons are still exactly the same as they've always been. . The only concern about whether this is OK, is if some outsider were to see and take it seriously enough to cause trouble with HR.
