"Sweet-heart" - "Honey" - "Hun" - "Darlin'" - When does a term of endearment, become a term of minimization?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

When a male boss refers to a female employee with a term of endearment - it is demeaning and sexist (older bosses who feel paternal towards their employees can be excused)
When a male says uses a term of endearment when talking to a female co-worker - it is disrespectful and sexist.
However, there are cultural issues here. People from certain parts of the United States are more prone to using them than others - so it needs to be taken on a case by case basis. I think it is pretty obvious when someone is aiming to cause offense.
If it sounds like something Sawyer would say, its probably not appropriate.
