"There were also women with white wrist bands. They were reserved for board members and the very best sales reps."

A spokesman for Ergo told the BBC that the party had happened, but said it was not the usual way of rewarding their employees.

Honest Honey, I was just there for the Hors'dourves and wine. ; )

By this report, I will guess that they don't have a very diverse workforce (no women, no gays??)

9. prostitution is legal in Germany

[jmowreader]

20. Read the article: the party was in Hungary

Prostitution's legal there too.

The article also says the party was in 2007, and that all the people who organized it have "left the company"--probably "were fired" is more accurate.

11. One more talking point for the GOP against unions - if we had really

good union reps, they'd have negotiated this for us already - so what are you getting for your dues?

13. and how were the saleswomen rewarded? n/t

[JVS]

14. Are they still hiring?

[cali]

15. What about salewomen? Don't they have any? If so, were they just not invited?

Were male hookers provided? What about gay salesmen and women?

Women as party favors. how cute.

19. Do you find it

to be somehow more disturbing that the prostitution was set in this format, or is it an objection to prostitution in general?

(no snark. honestly interested in this)
