Unwelcome Job "Advancement"

When Kaleb takes his break in the staff room, Julia, his supervisor, follows him.  She likes to fix his coffee and hand it to him as she backs him into the corner of the room.  She compliments him on what his is wearing and how good he smells.  She jokingly tells him how good they would look together and what a great team they would be.  He knows she is actually serious because she continually tells him that she could help him get promoted if only they were a couple.  He often talks about his girlfriend and tries to distract her with small talk and work-related conversation.  His is now skipping his break when she is around to avoid getting cornered by her.  Julia makes Kaleb feel very uncomfortable, but he doesn't want to treat his supervisor rudely because he needs this job.  Kaleb has told his girlfriend about the problem, and she is insisting that he do something about is.  What should Kaleb do?  What would you do if you were Kaleb?

Overlooked

Elise has worked in the same position for the past three years.  She is a dedicated worker who is well respected and liked by both management and her coworkers.  On at least three seperate occasions, she has applied for management positions that were ultimately give to staff members with less experience and education.  In the most recent case, the position was filled with an employee they hired from outside the company.  She doesn't know why this is happening.  She thinks this is unfair and has become angry, bitter, and resentful.  She wants to confront management about being overlooked for promotions, but is afraid they will see how bitter she has become.  She is wondering if she should just look for a new job.  What should Elise do?
