There's a double standard out there. Single women are expected to sleep with coworkers and if drama arises then it's not their fault, but men are expected to refrain from sleeping with coworkers and if relationship drama arises then it's always the man's fault if he dipped his pen in company ink. Your remark "grow up" is merely a logical fallacy used to conceal this double standard. The "banging" was mentioned in the techcrunch article so it's definitely on-topic. How do you know that the other woman's jealousy was not aroused by Julie's projection of sexuality into the workplace via her demonstration of willingness to hook up with employees ? When Julie hooked up with an employee she was demonstrating that in general she's willing to hook up with employees which put her on the other women's radar as a potential personal/political rival. I seriously doubt the other woman would have felt threatened if Julie's romantic foray hadn't come into play.. Again.. a reasonable guy would never have made a post about this kind of thing on hackernews instead he would have just accepted the drama as the consequence of his risky choice to engage in romance in the workplace. He would have just bit the bullet and moved on. Julie on the other hand is wilding out and she comes off as an unprofessional drama queen.
