What would Cheney do?
For the week's whackiest story, the Tribune reports that a sales manager is accused of waterboarding an employee to motivate the sales team. Really.
Not even the British version of "The Office" would attempt this plot line — it's too far fetched.
In the words of the Trib's Erin Alberty:
A supervisor at a motivational coaching business in Provo 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. In a lawsuit filed last month, former Prosper, Inc. salesman Chad Hudgens alleges his managers also allowed the supervisor to draw mustaches on employees' faces, take away their chairs and beat on their desks with a wooden paddle "because it resulted in increased revenues for the company."Company president Dave Ellis responded that the allegation "sensationalized" his methods, which would appear to also include humiliation and fear.
As the CIA's "motivational consultants" would advise: As long as you don't cause organ failure, it's probably OK.
