When I worked for a major database company they made me take annual training to explain that I wasn’t allowed to buy sex workers for potential clients.
That’s true, but this directs them to the owner anyway, which is the same thing. It just goes to someone else. If this was actually anti-bribery policy, gifts should not be accepted full stop.
There is usually a common-sense bar where this is applied though. Some items on that list would for sure apply, but in that case the employee should politely decline, not hand the goods over to the owner. I’d like to think that’s fake. But, I can imagine that it’s very real somewhere.;

So Oracle.
Was after the catapult incident?
Ootl…did the catapult incident involve a sex worker?
Multiple sex workers.
I’m even more ootl. What happened?
Were there multiple catapults, as well?
Nope, just one catapult firing sex workers into a hotel room and one of the calculations was off and she went splat.
Oh, so only one sex worker was involved in the catapult incident. The rest were no incident.
My handbook at work specifically bans buying illicit drugs for customers with the company card.
It doesn’t say anything about buying it with my card and getting reimbursed though…
Make sure the dealer gives you a receipt.
Duh, buying them would be capex. No one wants to do depreciation. Short term lease with a damage clause.
This guy businesses.
“buy”
So renting is not an issue! Or as a Service…
So many options left. Next time I talk to big red I’ll ask the rep about his interpretation of this training.
;)
…it feels like they told you whixh sex workers not to hire.

One place i worked at collected all gifts and had a lottery at Christmas, where employees could win them. I feel that’s a fair way to deal with this.
Oh that’s neat! I bet it could get out of hand though at a particularly high dollar company
