It seems odd to take this as an indictment of burning man when it should be verboten to invite anyone to an intimate event DURING A PROFESSIONAL INTERVIEW. Wait until after the interview and try to know them on personal terms.... then maybe. Even that seems super sketchy as you could interpet it as tied to the interview.

Actually even then, if you value your employment, I feel like this is a sacrifice you make when you cross the rubicon to director-level and above.

Completely agree.

Rubicon is a rather shallow river and is easy to cross by the way. But comparing menage-a-trois to a watershed event in human history deflates the risks taken by Caesar.

I think the genocide he committed deflates it plenty.

It was taken as an opportunity to announce that they are in fact a "burner". I suppose that's dope or something.
