My first startup's CEO practiced "The Game" and used to bring the dev team out in SF to practice peacocking, negging and other ridiculous seduction techniques on unsuspecting women. I'm in an ltr and dreaded having to go, but didn't want to be left out so I would tag along. It was horrible.



How many sexual harassment lawsuits were there? Why would anyone think this is OK?


Ugh I don't know. I've since gotten a new job but he's still there as a figurehead CEO... the COO makes all the decisions/runs the show from what I've heard. Glad I got out. It was just one of many many juvenile actions from that boss.


That is absolutely horrifying.

How could someone like that possibly make sound business decisions?


Yeah. It was kinda a joke-ish type thing but then it started being totally not a joke because he and his buddies were really taking it very seriously. He had a bunch of fratstar intern types and they just encouraged the behavior even more. I'm so glad I got out of there and went to a real company.
