Slippery Slope

An example of a slippery slope fallacy is a supervisor at a company wants to let his employees personalize their work space, and be able to use the internet for certain research and on their breaks.  But, the owner of the company says, "no way."  She believes that if she lets them put up pictures of family then eventually inappropriate pictures will be hung on the wall and harassment lawsuits will be filed.  She also says that the company will fold if employees are allowed to have internet access because their productivity will go down and the company will suffer.  These are large leaps to take from the initial requests from the supervisor.
