THIS JOB SUCKS

18 November 2003


Employers in Aspen, a town full of celebrities, have been known to make unusual requests of employees, but even for Aspen, one alleged request was going too far.

Top wage, accommodation, cars and jets
Matthew Jay, 26, thought he'd found the perfect job. Jay claims he was offered a position as a caretaker for an Aspen lodge, which paid $25 an hour and included a free studio apartment.

The job also included use of the property’s vehicles in Aspen, as well as being able to hop rides on the private jet and helicopter, and holiday at the owner’s vacation homes when they weren't using them.

While the owners were in town, Jay would be expected to clean the house, arrange for fresh flowers and other necessities, and help serve dinner and cocktails.

Blown away by job requirements
But between doing the dishes and sorting the laundry, Jay claims, he was told by John Ortega, supervisor of the property, that he would have one other duty: allowing Ortega to occasionally perform fellatio on him.

Jay's interest in the position ended there - but his outrage didn't, and he filed suit against Ortega and his employers, William Dillard II and Mandy Dillard.

Case postponed
Ortega has denied both offering Jay a job and making any demand for sexual favours; the Dillards say they know nothing about the situation. Initially scheduled for trial this week, the case has been postponed.
