Corporate Gigolinas

The Cube was unfair to single out only the boys yesterday: there are quite a few Corporate "Gigolinas" out there, too. 'Just came across a couple - intelligent women, good speakers, well dressed - with no substantive accomplishment beyond the ability to talk a good business game to the middle-aged male executive or financier with money to lose. 

Now, let's step back a moment and look at both the Corporate Gigolos and Gigolinas. They're not con artists, boy toys or trophy wives-to-be. They are smart young business people who find an older male or female executive with money and a need for validation. The Gigos turn their brains to riding the wave of salaried (high salaried) employment as advisors, personal assistants, consultants to these folks -- never caring one way or another if the plan/project/business is a good idea or not. Doesn't matter to them. Spend the money or budget and, if it starts to run out, look for contacts along the way who are suitably impressed by your appearance and obvious professionalism that you can jump ship with hardly a wet toe.
