Presumably models are also real people who have an interest in being there (their interest is in being paid).
If consenting adults are being treated fairly, I don't see any moral problem here.
- bdcravens 9y agoThe article says they are told to say "I'm (real employee)'s friend". If I go to a party put on by my employer and they are paying people to lie to me, I would say I'm not being treated fairly.
- ImSkeptical 9y agoEdit: Oops. I misread you the first time. Maybe my comment is no longer relevant. But you chose to accept that job. The actor on TV isn't being treated unfairly because he/she has to lie and say they're a detective, or whatever. I don't see why the model is being mistreated because her role is software company employee. If anyone is being mistreated by the lie, it's the person being lied to, who is, you know, being lied to. That said, this is a balance between having a fun party, and possibly feeling dumb when it turns out the girl you thought you were flirting with is actually a model hired to entertain you. I think it's up to those companies, the employees, and the models, to strike the right balance.
