Salesman Motivated with Waterboarding

The next time your boss asks for a volunteer for a team building exercise, you may want to ask what that exercise is before you raise your hand. Unfortunately for Hudgens, a salesman in Utah, he unknowingly volunteered to be waterboarded in front of his coworkers.

This story definitely has some humor to it, though it’s also incredibly scary. Imagine this happening to you in your office. I don’t know whether or not waterboarding should be classified as torture, but the fact that it’s being considered by the courts as being torture probably means it shouldn’t be used as motivation for the workforce. Then again, it sounds like the company in question was mostly comprised of telemarketers selling “coaching” packages - so perhaps he get what he deserved? (ok that was a cheap shot)

File that under better than being burned alive.
