Motivational Company Waterboarded Employees?

Motivational coaching company Prosper is the subject of an unusual lawsuit: “A supervisor…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.” C’mon team, let’s Gitmo sales!

    Hey, he got a free bucket of water. And now he complains?

    Wait, did everyone read this article? It sounds like he made it all up, as most of the team is saying that he wasn’t held down. Plus, it took him 6 weeks to file the complain, but in the time before that, he went on a trip with that same team, where HE drove the boat that they were water skiing from.

    what?

    @BayStateDarren:

    My thoughts exactly! The article headline would’ve read: “Employee Beats Sh*t Out of Boss Ater Waterboarding Attack!”
