Can sleeping with a client get an intern fired? I may have made a mistake.
A client organization invited us to a business oriented cocktail party. I made decent conversation with one of the clients and a group of the clients and I (with no one else from my firm) went to a bar for drinks. The client in question left with me after the first bar so that we could continue drinking at other bars while the other clients went home...
I ended up having a night of wild sex with the client at her place. If someone finds out about this, could I be fired? I'm concerned that some of the other clients from the client organization might have inferred what was going on since the client I slept with doesn't have a car.
Niiiiiice.
Awesome.
That's called client service. Why would you get fired for that?
you would only get fired if it stopped you from closing the deal. if the deal closes, your boss might give you a high five and a nice bonus.
He closed the deal in my book.
You won't get fired. But you can do something with this.
If your staffer or director doesn't know, call them into a meeting room and confess. If either/both is female, look for a male to confess to. Keep it very light on detail. The older the guy, the better. Play young and naive, like you think you've done a bad thing and are worried about getting fired.
At this point, your confessor will likely be excited and wanting details so he can live vicariously. Give him some details, but not too much. Leave him knowing and wanting more details.
Don't swear him to secrecy. You don't have to tell him he can tell anyone, but just make sure you're not invoking confidentiality.
Given the level of wannabe machismo in most offices, by the end of the day you'll be getting high fives.
DISCLAIMER: I could be completely wrong and this could get you fired.
I think that if you are going to confess, this is spot on. I'm not sure confessing is the right move, though. I imagine if you predict that it will get out, this would be the best way to get out ahead of it.
Don't kiss and tell. If everyone would stop snap chatting, tweeting and facebooking their sexcapades people world wide would be getting more booty.
Also....
Hopefully you didn't write this at work lol
do not confess. She isnt going to say anything. You arent going to say anything. Move on. This never happened.
This is usually a badge of honor for the wall street guys that I've come across. Sounds like you provided exceptional client service, which should improve both your personal brand and the brand of your firm.
I can't believe this is even a Forum Topic...
Take this to your grave son.
best thing that could have happened to you in banking
Legendddd
first of all, you're an intern, she's using you as meat. it never happened as far as anyone is concerned.
but kudos bro, great fuckin story
what bondarb said
May have made a mistake?!?! If you think having wild sex all night with a cougar is a mistake, you have some soul searching to do.
Hope you wrapped it up because I'm guessing you aren't the first intern she has poached during the deal process :)
if you end up getting fired, im sure that many WSO users would help you get a job :D most importantly, your reputation can only rise at this point
I gave you a silver banana for the win and an MS for your waffling. Don't say anything.. Good work.
I think giving a banana is what got him in this mess in the first place, not sure that's helpful braj
We have very different definitions of what constitutes a mess :-)
Well, the bigger question is why didn't you take her number to "discuss" this situation over late drinks this Friday night!
Enjoy it because its the best all nigher you will have in banking.
We all know the pressure clients can put on us but you seem to have risen to the task.
I am sure your superiors told you to stay on top of things and you were all over this one.
Good work.
That's how you climb the corporate ladder
Awyissss
Awyissss
Congratulations.
Gentlemen don't kiss and tell so tell no one. What you should do is get in touch with her and get yourself a sugar momma.
you're my hero. can only hope this happens to me this summer....
The worst part about this thread is the amount of people who actually blindly believe the OP.
Even in my neck if the woods (accounting), I have to imagine this happens at most companies sooner or later. For us it's usually the blonde female intern as meat, but OP's tale is very believable.
Some of those 30-something's at the client, I'm just saying, buy them a red wine and have the DJ play "black velvet" and you're set.
Thumbs up! Best story ever! Keep in mins that most of the women dont talk about their private life and especially not in this case. Remember she isgoing to be the bitch of the office. So keep calm she Will Not say Anthing
Props breh. You're coming in the gate swinging if that's how you get down as an intern lol
