he wasnt staff, would they have found him a prossie then? Lets face it, a concierge at a Casino/hotel will have seen everything...

What kind of place gives ANY kind of award for ONE YEAR of service?

My company starts acknowledging you at five years, and then you get, like a box of chocolates.

should of asked the concierge for a pilow...

(I've seen Hotel Babylon)

You get a box of chocolates?

I've been here for about 8 years and I'm lucky to get the tools needed to do my job.

It must be like McDonalds, if you last out the first day you get a star on your badge - if you last a week you get all 5 stars...

Paris because if she'd been around he wouldn't have needed to ask for a lady of the night...

Not something I watch but it sounds like they actually got something right!

A friend once asked the concierge in a large hotel in Birmingham (UK) for an extra pillow (wanting exactly that) and was "rather surprised" by what arrived...

My colleague has just completed 10 years of service and our benevolent employers sent him an e-certificate to print out in order to mark this momentous occasion.

He was also given special permission to use the colour printer so I guess they do value him very much.

In Iowa? Do they even have hookers there?

If he's too lazy to find his own female company, how good of a worker is he really?

Im hoping he is some sort of entertainer for the casino and not what I first thought at reading that.

so...

they should have easily been able to stump up a couple of bucks for a woman of pragmatic virtues

IT? becoz, really - this article is pure prurience

A casino in IOWA? Hoo-whoooo.

Before I am accused of being anti-Iowan, my reaction would have been the same if it had been in Saskatchewan. Some places just don't have 'sin city' stamped all over them.

>>Postitution is illegal in Las Vegas as well

You mean even the street signs & fences are sneaking into the bushes now???

So, this guy has been sacked from his job AND the judge denied him unemployment benefits? How then is he supposed to live? His only options, as far as I can see if he can't find another job straight away (and at 62 it's not likely) is to starve to death in the streets or turn to a life of crime. No wonder the US has the crime problems it does - if you create a system that denies a person ANY legitimate income, what the fuck do you expect?

Unfortunately tis the same in what was once "good ol' Blighty".

Well maybe I am generalising a bit as it probably only applies to people outside of London who have lived and worked here for 30 odd years. We don't have judges making the decisions, tis all down to local jobsworths.

My company was different, no bonuses for loyalty, the longer you were there the more noticable the budget costs became. When the highest costs were continuously targeted it was only a matter of time before I became the top target.

Mine's the one with the lock pick training kit and gemmy in one pocket and mugging cudgel in the other.

I've been with CSC two years and all they gave me was another set of conflicting management orders, some more inane paperwork and another reduction in self-esteem.
