No, I don't give hints I was out-ed in the workplace 8 years ago and it was a horrible experience. Long story short, I gave a flogging lesson (unpaid of course) to another woman that was filmed by her husband for their private use. They seemed a nice D/s couple and the scene was erotic good fun. Without my permission, they then sold the footage to a local porn production company. It didn't take long after that to get busted. I lost all respect from my staff and colleagues, particularly the men. When I complained to HR that one of my male reports hissed "I bet you are one sick bitch", HR told me "well what do you expect, given your lifestyle?" That looked at me like I was some kind of idiot to expect anything but scorn and laughter. Eventually stories were leaked to my clients, advisers, consultants and the CEO along the lines "do you know she is a Dominatrix as well as a ******???" And they had the video to prove it. Being a reasonably high profile, most powerful woman within the organisation, everyone thought it was a huge joke. Some assumed I must be working in a brothel after hours. The CEO eventually told me that I could remain at the company but I was not to speak about my personal life to anyone. Needless to say I never got another promotion and had no luck transferring to another company. Whenever I go for job interviews in my industry, I still wonder if the interviewer 'knows' about me and is just checking out "the sick bitch" for himself.. So NO. Everyone knows what I am and I wish I had my sexual privacy back, frankly. Now, when anyone tries to pry into that part of my personal life, I look at them stonily and say "Actually, I am a born again Christian. I would love it if you came to church with me this Sunday". That makes the sleazy voyeurs back off, fast!!!
