A 2009 Microsoft sales conference was ''rife'' with ''drunkenness and outrageous misbehaviour'', a former executive has claimed... Mr Negus alleges wild partying at the conference was driven by “unlimited quantities” of vodka and Jagermeister. One Microsoft director was so drunk he allegedly followed a female manager into the ladies restroom, while another was “so p***** he could not remember a thing”.

''The alcohol made freely available in unlimited quantities included neat vodka which could be drunk from an ice fountain, and a very strong German liquor called Jagermeister,'' the papers read.

Who would have guessed MS is the company that parties hard!!

I think they're a close second to Munich Re, who famously generated headlines like "Munich Re Unit Says Company-Paid Prostitute Party Was "Killer Fun".

It's probably not uncommon in big companies...I know that in the 'Golden Days' of Sun they would pack everyone on a top end train at Surrey that was packed of food and booze, drop them all off somewhere up North to get even more hammered, restocked the train and brought them all back....
