not actually in gg5... i think i meant to say eij below, whose example is:
枕営業でトップの地位を得る
sleep one's way to the top
  Comments:
i don't think i should have approved this one as is.  i think it applies to both parties, not merely to the one whose career advances.  also would apply to people trying to make sales, etc.
