Yep. Sort of like image consultants and other useless “careers.”

[Constitution Day]

Thanks! Same to you.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

So...did their sales improve?

[freepertoo]

Not if you’re into motiviational seminar stuff. :0D The firm I work for is driving us nuts with this stuff. Last seminar we had to bat a balloon back and forth to simulate team work (I walked out). The one after that we had to play with play doe, pipe cleaners and paper plates. Most of us are in our forties and fifties. I walked out of that, too.

One thing about America: You can sue ANYONE for ANYTHING!

I’d much prefer waterboarding to some of the staff meetings at our company.

This “motivational coaching business” sounds like a cult.

If you said that in the corporate environment,in regards to the motivational coaches your boss selected, you would be derided as being not very smart and not being a team player. The CEO can be buck naked and you have to go along with his delusion, if you want to remain a player.

So it is with the “motivational coaching business”.

Americans love a good cult now and then.

Homey don't play that.

You have provided my Freeper chuckle for the day. Thank you

the manager “intentionally engaged in physically and emotionally abusive conduct” to punish workers who did not meet company performance goals, the paper said.
++++++++++++++++
This works if the salespeople can convince customers. I advised my sales staff to show customers their wounds and cry during sales calls and beg for their business so that they could avoid further torture.

[Rush4U]

The newest step in the “Dynamic leadership model and employee motivation matrix”?

[43north]

Oooooh! Waterboarding. Big f’n deal. I had to attend cultural sensitivity training - TWICE!

[KoRn]

I hope my boss doesn’t see this!

[BerryDingle]

When they called him,
he got out of a van,
down by the river.

Sorry, but it's true.

[Slings and Arrows]

I've got to try this on the next student I catch cheating.

[JennysCool]

Oh, I know it’s true. I’m just lucky enough not to have to play that game.
