Law associate confronts intern about office romance: ‘My intern [is] benefitting from pretty privilege’

This employee has been watching too much Grey's Anatomy. After discovering that her intern was having an office romance with a senior associate, she thought that the best way to handle the scenario and to "stay out of it" was to go around confronting both parties and starting more drama.

The best part is how folks in the comments section were quick to call out the flaws in her logic about "pretty privilege," a phrase she used when confronting her intern. People accused the associate of being jealous and questioned why she seemed more frustrated with the less powerful party in this dynamic. If she really felt that something against company policy was going on and that something needed to be done urgently, that is what Human Resources is for. She is not a professional when it comes to handling these issues, but she couldn't help herself. If she really did not want to be involved, she simply wouldn't be involved. What would you do in this scenario? Sound off in the comments!
