Via The Salt Lake Tribune:
A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo is accused of waterboarding an employee in front of his sales team to demonstrate that they should work as hard on sales as the employee had worked to breathe. In a lawsuit filed last month, former Prosper, Inc. salesman Chad Hudgens alleges his managers also allowed the supervisor to draw mustaches on employees' faces, take away their chairs and beat on their desks with a wooden paddle "because it resulted in increased revenues for the company."
WTF!?
I really want to believe this is a joke. What a bunch of idiots including the so called motivational supervisor and the guy who agreed to this "exercise". T.
clearly a male-dominated sales culture, which isn't all that dissimilar from a fraternity (also often under scrutiny for similar practices)
