"Either you drink, or you get it from me tomorrow," the boss told her one evening. She drank, fearing that refusing to do so would hurt her career.
What does it mean to say 'Either you drink, or you get it from me tomorrow'?
What do the words in bold mean?
Many thanks.
That sounds like a case of harrassment....because it means if she doesn't drink tonight, she'll be in trouble with the boss tomorrow.
Evidently an employee is socializing after working hours with her boss--but her boss thinks he's still in charge and making all the rules.
He's warning her that if she doesn't drink with him that he may penalize her professionally in the office the next day.
