Spanked employee seeks $1.2M
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A female employee in California is suing her former employer for $1.2 million for humiliation she suffered while being ‘spanked’ at work.
Janet Orlando, 53, resigned from her job at Alarm One Inc. in Fresno, CA and is suing for alleged assault, discrimination, battery and infliction of emotional distress.
According to the Associated Press, Orlando was spanked in front of her co-workers as part of a ‘camaraderie-building exercise’. Winners of the exercise made fun of the losers by “throwing pies at them, feeding them baby food, making them wear diapers and swatting their buttocks.’
Lawyers for Alarm One Inc. said the spankings were part of a voluntary exercise to boost camaraderie and increase sales.
