I use a different legal AI service (although I don’t recommend relying on its legal analysis for anything but a starting point). Still, this isn’t a hard question (“California / Ninth Circuit law. Is it permissible to invite company employees to a sex party?”).
Ethan, from an employer risk-and-compliance standpoint, the answer is: strongly inadvisable, and legally dangerous. There is no per se statute that says "you may not invite employees to a sex party," but doing so as an employer, manager, or supervisor exposes the company to liability under multiple independent FEHA and Title VIl theories — hostile work environment, quid pro quo harassment, retaliation, and the statutory failure-to-prevent duty. California law is markedly more employer-adverse than federal law here, and the employer's exposure for a supervisor's conduct is strict — no knowledge or negligence required. The narrow scenarios in which such an invitation escapes liability (a genuinely private, off-hours relationship unconnected to work; a truly isolated, non-severe, non-coercive one-off with no adverse follow-up) are fact-dependent, unreliable to plan around, and easy to lose.
Below is the governing framework and where the real risk lives.

Someone who's habitually dropping the ball is also typically ignoring the rules for correct conduct and coming up with misleading excuses for errors.
The result: a stew of screwups and lies that makes it impossible to tell negligence from intentional wrongdoing.

Remember when I asked you in your deposition if
you were an expert on the catering companies that go out there?
A. I believe you did.
Q. And I said, "Well, shoot, you must be an expert on gas detectors, heat exchangers, and kolaches, " right?
A.
I believe you said kolaches, yes, sir.
l. Because you're an expert on anything that's out
at Dow, true?
I'm an expert in my area, yes, sir.
A. I've got a body of work and 20-plus years of

Confirm four new Justices, all professional comedians. Their only job? To vast [cast votes the opposite of I Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett and issue a concurring opinion (or dissent) that's fifteen pages of roasting them.

The challenge was that most of the conservative ideals don't have mass appeal.
So their fans rode a tiger. Eventually it became clear the tiger—not them—decided on the direction it was heading, and the riders became tiger fans or were replaced.
