In a remarkable display of corporate savviness, local account manager Tom Hastings has reportedly achieved unprecedented return on investment (ROI) at a recent networking event by making quick work of the complimentary catering.
The event, held at a swanky CBD venue, was reportedly aimed at fostering professional connections and business growth.
Hastings, however, saw an opportunity of a different kind.
Armed with a keen eye for value and an insatiable appetite, he strategically positioned himself near the complimentary catering table and open bar.
Within minutes, he was seen making repeated trips, each time loading his plate with gourmet canapés, sliders, and the highly-coveted peking duck pancakes.
Witnesses reported that while other attendees were busy exchanging pleasantries, Hastings was laser-focused on maximising his caloric intake.
“That’s my dinner sorted” he told one of his co-workers.
“Mate the best part of these events is to smash as mini quiches and craft beers as possible,” he continued.
“In this economy, you have to seize every opportunity. Plus, the more you eat, the more value you extract. It’s simple economics.”
More to come.
