McDonald’s is hardly the first company to ban workplace relationships... are these types of rules paternalistic overreach?
McDonald’s ousted its CEO over a consensual relationship with an employee, just a week after U.S. Rep. Katie Hill stepped down due to a similar allegation.
In the past, some organizations, such as the International Monetary Fund, have been much more permissive. In one of my studies, participants asked other people for various favors ranging from the innocuous, such as to donate money to charity, to the unethical — to lie for them. In each case, the people making the request underestimated how uncomfortable others would feel saying “no.”
Yet people in positions of power tend to be oblivious to the influence they wield over others because they are less likely to take the other party’s perspective. This makes it difficult for powerful people to recognize when another person feels compelled to go along with their requests. However, despite how emboldened someone might imagine they would feel to do so, research finds that we tend to overestimate how comfortable we would actually feel. For example, in research by psychologists Julie Woodzicka and Marianne LaFrance, the majority of women who read a hypothetical scenario about being sexually harassed during a job interview said they would confront the interviewer.
