Round Conference Tables

Should the last portion of this article be called SCORES in the boardroom?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125634088127304905.html?mod=googlenews_wsj Wouldn't it be really amusing if the RA in the catsuit in the boardroom on the conference table was actually an employee at SCORES??? Employees at Galleon recall some unusual scenes. Last summer, Mr. Rajaratnam asked a junior female analyst to buy a black spandex outfit from retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc. as part of a research project into the company, a hotly traded stock. He then asked the analyst to wear the outfit at the firm's morning meeting, said people who were there. As employees giggled, Mr. Rajaratnam made the point that few consumers would pay so much money for the expensive outfit in a recession, these people said. Mr. Rajaratnam then asked the analyst to walk back and forth on top of the conference table, said the people who attended. At that point, the firm's chief financial officer, Rich Scutte, urged the presentation to stop At least Scutte was thinking with his big brain at the potential of lawsuits from all female employees for gender discrimination and harrasment. I believe if Raj had donned a spandex catsuit also and a pair of 5 inch man-heels and joined the RA on top of the conference table he might have reduced potential liability to Galleon. Of course that would have caused much more than nervous giggles at the morning meeting - I hope everyone had their cameraphones out and that the meeting was being podcast to Raj's affiliate offices.These days everyone has cameras on their laptops also so a full lenghth presentation can be burned and sent to whomever.
