What Max said.
There is a place for close friends to use sexually based pet names. It is called home. At work we are professional people, and anything that lowers that professional approach is to be stopped. Ok I call my lover 'sweetie' at work, what does that allow others to call him?
If I tell my secretary that her push up bra is really enhancing, what message does that give her co-workers?
It is called respect.
Respect is what makes people of different genders, religion. colour, ethnic background, etc get on together.
'Well hi cutie pie, you sure do my eyes good ' Is not respectful.
Babe get me a coffee is not respectful.
If it is in a persons job description then, " Miss Allen, can you please arrange for three coffees in the board room please. Thank you" When they arrive. 'Thank you Miss Allen, that was very kind of you'
Do you see the difference? And not just board room that was to empathise
