I received a gift box at work from the secretary.
It was from my new Brazilian client that I had just won over my coworker…thanks mostly to me flashing him what was up my dress during the entire meeting. In my defense, I was bored and only in the meeting because they wanted to appear diverse to a new company. I had just happened to fly back in that morning.
This was an account worth millions to my company, and I got it purely based on being flirty during a meeting. And here I spent my whole career up until this point working hard.
I opened the gift in my office. It was a VERY expensive dress. At a glance, not something I would wear to work certainly. More of a date night dress. The note read, “Happy to have you represent us – we hope you will consider this gift an initial thank you. Mr. B.”
A bit chauvinistic, to buy me a “sexy” dress in a professional setting.
Was I supposed to wear this to the work meeting in Brazil?
