Go to Work, Get a Spanking

Calif. Woman Spanked at Work Sues for $1.2M

Employees were paddled with rival companies' yard signs as part of a contest that pitted sales teams against each other, according to court documents. The winners poked fun at the losers, throwing pies at them, feeding them baby food, making them wear diapers and swatting their buttocks. Lawyers for Alarm One, an Anaheim-based, 300-employee company, said the spankings were part of a voluntary program to build camaraderie and were not discriminatory because they were given to both male and female workers.

Ya gotta wonder just WTH this company was thinking with this little program. Camaraderie is built through teams working their way through difficult problems or difficult times, not through SPANKINGS and wearing diapers. I've been through some goofy programs at work, but this one takes the cake.
