Old Fashioned Whippin'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.
