It’s very common for companies to offer luxurious and sometimes over-the- top reward to employees for meeting sales quotas; first class trips, 5 star resort accommodations, cash prizes, but what about an orgy? A German Insurance Company rewarded its successful salesmen with an orgy in a Budapest spa, I mean why not!? I’ve been to a thermal spa in Budapest and they are pretty magical but there was no orgy (not to my knowledge), I can imagine it would church up the experience a bit.
A division of the company, Ergo claimed the company organized this orgy at a Budapest spa in 2007 for their successful salesman. That is serious employee appreciation! Guests were allowed to take prostitutes to bed and “do whatever they like.” It sounds like this affair was pretty legit, an orgy participant revealed that this event was very organized. Prostitutes wore color-coded armbands to track how many times they had (I struggle for a word here) performed services; clearly this event needed color coordination (insert LOL here). This anonymous participant told a German newspaper, Handelsblatt: ‘After each such encounter the women were stamped on the lower arm in order to keep track of how often each woman was frequented.” Apparently double dipping was not taboo at this party, just tracked!
He went on to explain: “The women wore red and yellow wrist bands. One lot were hostesses, the others would fulfill your every wish. There were also women with white wristbands. They were reserved for board members and the very best sales reps.” Come on, this is normal! I think the red and yellow were for the honorable mentions and the white were for the overachievers, makes sense, WOW!
A rep for the company admits this Budapest orgy did happen but the organizers have left the company since then and it was “not the usual way of rewarding their employees.”
I’m not sure this was the most appropriate employee reward, who am I to judge? I just hope the men didn’t think it was a team building exercise too.
