Ok this is not really what you asked, but it such an odd story, I think I should share it. 20 years ago I had a job at a company where the general manager hired a 'business consultant' who seemed to actually be a highly entrepreneurial sex worker, who after having sex with him in his office, (during business hours + it was a small office, less than 20 people ) she presented him with an invoice for $30,000 for 'business services'
Shortly after her last visit to our office, she contacted me offering me an extraordinarily well paid developer job.
She arranged a meeting in the dining room of the Hilton hotel, in which she had rather bizarrely covered a table with papers, and about a dozen blinged out mobile phones. After about an hour of semi-nonsensical rambling about 'innovation' and veiled threats and grand out of control promises, describing a dynamic life in which we would be travelling the world, living in 'luxury hotels' constantly moving hunting the next opportunity - she asked if I wanted to 'meet the team' and 'they're all upstairs'. Curious to see what the hell this madness was all about, I followed her upstairs to her hotel room, (bracing myself, in case I needed to fight to keep my kidneys) and sure enough, in a very small studio apartment style hotel room, with the bed pushed to the back of the room, six developers, who barely acknowledged my presence, were crammed around a trestle table, on hefty beige desktop pcs with clunky low res cathode ray monitors. At least on the monitors facing me, they were dragging and dropping visual basic controls.
She then made it clear that if selected to join her 'elite team' that a substantial part of my salary would be paid in sexual services.
Curiosity satisfied, I got the hell out of there, but I've always wondered what the hell was the story of those six men?
Any of those six men, are you here? what the hell were you doing?
