I don’t have a category for this one…Ugh!

Andy Wibbels had a recent post titled Motivational Coach Waterboards Employee.

I had to read it.  And I couldn’t believe what I read.

In a nutshell…

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.’"

Ethics, trust, morality.  These are ingredients that cannot be left out of the employee relationship.  Here they were not only left out they were replaced with cruelty, stupidity, and evil.

Here is a link to the original article from within Andy’s post.

As with anything in this world – there is good application and poor application.  I can’t understand how anyone would think this made sense.
