The only difference between this scenario and an actual porno setup is that the meta employee isn't a college professor who controls her grade.

You could make the argument that it's only a power dynamic problem if the IG employee is the first to bring up sex, but if a college student offers to sleep with their professor to get a better grade, if the professor accepts are they benefiting from a power dynamic? I would say, very clearly yes.

The hypothetical professor, or meta employee, is transacting business that creates a conflict of interest with their prior business relationship with their employer.

This is little different from me tipping the safelite guy to lay a bead of sealant on some other stuff while he's at it.
