LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

He literally said, I need you to pay 15K for my WEF membership.

When I asked, "what value does that bring to my business"? His response was pointing to a VP at my company who is also a WEF "member" and that connection could be good for us.
I asked, how is that good for my business?
He had no response. literally couldn't come up with any answer.

If you have ever heard the phrase, "You will own nothing and you will be happy", that is from the leader of the WEF Klaus Schwab. (seen below)

If you had paid for his membership then he would have wanted you to pay for his trip to Davos for the meetings. Probably a couple of other WEF Boondoggles every year he will want you to send him to. You made the right call.

Looks like in 2017 membership and partner fees ranged from 60,000 CHF to 600,000 CHF.

Membership and partnership fees range from CHF 60,000 to CHF 600,000 depending on the level of engagement.

CHF is the abbreviation for the Swiss Franc (which was news to me), so that comes to $65k to $650k.

In 2020, WEF's Davos conference attracted more than 100 billionaires and 53 heads of state or government. Companies still mostly from the U.S. and Europe pay around $50,000 per person for a coveted "white badge" to access this guest list.

WEF's event fee income dropped from around $45 million in 2020 to zero in 2021. Membership and partnership fees range from $65,000 to $650,000, "depending on the level of engagement," per WEF.

^^^ I almost want to say his membership was "junior membership". He is like 28 years old.

First time I met him, after that meetnig I said to his manager, Is he going to make it here? Literally in 10 minutes, I said, oh *****

You should be asking what value he brings to your business instead.

What benefits does a WEF member get from the organization? A t-shirt? I'm curious what ROI those dues and fees accrue.

What's said 28 year old's role in the company. If sales, he's just a Cash McMogulston wanting to party and get laid in Davos. If so, give him some respect for trying.

That's more along the lines of a shakedown.

Which is in essence what the WEF does.

"It's a Ponzi scheme. It's a type of front-running," said the source.

But the same person also called WEF a "cult."

At Davos and other conferences, WEF operates an internal social media networking app called "TopLink," and provides multiple places for investors to share information in a highly hierarchical fashion, Public discovered, complete with an "inner sanctum" for only the VIPs of VIPs.

There is an elaborate badge system to keep lower-level Davos participants away from the upper echelons. Outside of official Davos is a fringe area where investors and corporations independent of WEF host events and attract attention for themselves.

The problem, said the WEF contractor, is that "nobody has the audacity to question him or what they are doing. They are all following him. Like a certain type of leader who you can't question. Schwab and his wife created that cult because they made him into that hero, and he accepted it. The leaders of that world e coming to him because they believe in him and are thinking about sustainability. He's totally aware of the conspiracy theories and knows that some believe he is a communist or a fascist. He said he doesn't care and only has to have more bodyguards."

Why, in the end, has Klaus Schwab become one of the most influential men in the world?

Because, through the strategic use of mystery and exclusivity, Schwab is rewarding the world's elite with the feeling of moral purpose and virtue while also satisfying their need to invest early into inferior products, from insect protein to cryptocurrencies and unreliable energy sources, before pumping up their value the public, to policymakers, and pension holders.

WEF and Davos are, in other words, a cult wrapped in a grift wrapped in an enigma.

So is he looking for another job? If an employee ever asked me to pay for any type of membership, it is a message that it was time for us to part ways.

He left the company on his own but I was in his managers' ear about him. He would have been managed out most likely.

It was more about the fact that he just didn't know wtf he was doing.

So WEF is like Scientology without the electrodes, coupled with its very own FyreFest.

Got it.
