One of my favorite scenarios ever---having a boss or just another guy expect that I'm going to service him, simply because he is the guy with the power and I'm the guy that he wants to use.
Contract Law
Intriguing, not necessarily a pleasure read, but vivid, visceral, moving. Power dynamics have dominated human life since Day One, and this is an interesting exploration.
I cannot accept the stated motive, for either the founder or the partner candidate.
I would love to see Malcolm, Bruce, and Robert alone one evening in an office or bar, and the scotch flowing.
Alcohol tends to loosen lip quickly in shade experiences like this. Lawyers or no, agreements be damned, Clayton had officially made all 3 of these guys his bitches, and there has GOT to be a seething urge to talk about it underneath their professional demeanors.
Kept bottled up, and with Clayton occasionally 'banging' a mallet on their corks, sooner or later, one of them is going to POP.
