So progressive you Europeans!

Well, they got lots of flak for it.

No why would you want to go and ruin a good time like this? ;)

Heh, I guess the folks who attended the party were happy, but others obviously were not.

I'm working for a German company. What should I say, I'm really lucky that I don't have to bring them money every month. If they threw parties like these, I'd personally sue them for wasting money ^^.

Yes, I heard about it - and it was primarily conducted by the "Hamburg Mannheimer", which is described by a commentator as being "very aggressive" in terms of trying to sell insurance policies to customers.

Very rough translation of that commentary by me :

"Their task is to sell insurance policies and like in most of the so-called "structure sales departments" there is also in HMI [Hamburg Mannheimer] a company culture apparent which is shaped by aggressiveness and macho-behaviour. In the end, the goal is to sell the customer as many insurance policies as possible (often unneccessary and over-priced ones), one could even say : To push them into the customer. The hierarchies in the company are steep. Videos of HMI events teach : Mentally there is in this company quasi permanentpenetration going on."

Men at the top of society being sex crazy? well… no surprise there :D

i would hardly call insurance salesmen the "top" of society…

I thought these guys earned big bonuses and such a things for each insurrance sold?

Yeah; this thing is currently talked about in the press in conjunction with the ex-IWF boss, to …

Which I don't understand. It was a sex party. Sex parities are awesome.
