Damn straight and (as long as it's figurative lol) I don't see anything wrong with THAT either. Nothing like being invited to the family barbecue to gain favor for a promotion.

But... I really don't see much of a problem with kissing or other PDAs as long as they aren't overt and intended to be offensive. Hell, only reason I can think of for banning it is to coddle the poor saps that can't get dates.

Might not be wrong in a legal sense but it could make the work place Hell for any that partake of booty kissing.

I've seen it happen many times.
And most times the 'kisser' gets canned by the 'kissie' when those who work under the 'kisser' refuse to deliver.

As I run my own business?
Anyone who starts 'kissing' up?
I give them one warning, and one warning only.

I agree with privateer the ass kisser gets shown the door, they are unreliable and very bad for making money.
I work on a merit only basis, the person may be the most obnoxious bastard going and may openly hate my guts, but if he can do the job and fill my bank account then he is like gold dust.

The reciprocant of a Geordie or Glaswegian kiss tends never to forget the experience...well those were the sort I often encountered in my area of work
