The Drunken CSR

This is a true story.  It happened a few years ago at a former company of mine.

Once upon a time, a CEO married a young sales rep working in his company. She was promptly promoted to VP of Marketing. A few months later, it was more than obvious that the the CEO’s wife’s used some of her hefty new salary to hire a plastic surgeon.

She proudly unveiled her new assets by donning a scandolous dress at the company Christmas party. The food was delicious, the band was great, and the booze was flowing. Before long, a certain customer service rep was feeling paricularily sauced. Her liquid sweater instilled her the courage to swagger over to the CEO’s wife and strike up a conversation. Cordial banter was volleyed for a few minutes when suddenly the last vodka shot the customer service rep had taken went to her head. “So how are you healing?” she asked nonchalantly.

Bright and early the next morning, the customer service rep received a call from her manager informing her of her termination.

Moral: Do not get drunk and ask your CEO’s wife about her surgical enhancements.
