Anyone following the Harvey Weinstein debacle? I don't think he'd make it as a gladiator, and that's a good thing. Toss him in.
Pretty sure I'm feeling triggered by the memories of an experience I had thanks to a sales VP in the early 90s, when I wanted to go into sales for the company. In those days, you couldn't complain to anyone, and there were no HR rules, so I kept my mouth shut. The actual operational VP was even worse; I was lucky that he only liked willowy blondes.
The president was an even bigger piece of sh*t. His idea of a good time was coercing all the male reps (married or not) into joining him at a strip joint that offered "special benefits" in a private room for extra cash. You were branded a p*ssy if you didn't let a stripper blow you while he watched.
Yup, that's right. Some of these reps were just kids in their 20s and 30s, and very devoted to their wives. And yet they were powerless to stand up to the biggest *sshole in the company, because they would have been fired.
