Calif. Woman Spanked at Work Sues for $1.2M – Yahoo! News
I went to public school in the days when teachers could whip the snot out of you for poor behavior. And let me tell you. After elementary school, I had little snot left in me. I’m all for going back to “swats,” as we called them, at school. But at work? Here’s the money quote from this article about a woman being spanked in front of her co-workers in a ploy to build sales:
“No reasonable middle-aged woman would want to be put up there before a group of young men, turned around to show her buttocks, get spanked and called abusive names, and told it was to increase sales and motivate employees,” her lawyer, Nicholas “Butch” Wagner, said in his closing argument.
The company says the spankings were voluntary and this woman just wants money. Probably. But getting spanked at work? I do wonder how the company’s sales figures have turned out.
I think this is a great idea! Some of the people I have to babysi..I mean supervise could definitely use corporal motivation.
Maybe! I’ve been thinking of how it could possibly work out within the church too.
I remember you telling me the stories of working in the office at VV and they jocks that would come out of Sloan’s office in pain and tears in their eyes! I’m sure that was a deterrant for you!
Most definitely a deterrant! Do you remember Sloan describing his infamous ‘swinging swat?’ I still enjoyed some of the ‘tough’ guys coming out of Sloan’s office boohooing. As a school teacher, wouldn’t you like to see the return of corporal whippin’?
Absolutely! I think that is definitely a problem… most kids could care less about a detention or even a Saturday school… but there is a stigma associated with swats that I think seems to be more of a deterrant. I think that when we had them, there were less problems.
Well, I was less of a problem after third grade – but I must say, the swats, both at school and at home played a MAJOR role.
