Calif. Woman Spanked at Work Sues for $1.2M
 

This sort of takes all the fun out of the work place....

FRESNO, Calif. - Lawyers for a woman who was spanked in front of her co-workers as part of what her employer said was a camaraderie-building exercise asked a jury Wednesday for at least $1.2 million for the humiliation she claimed to have suffered.

Janet Orlando, 53, quit her job at the home security company Alarm One Inc. in Fresno and sued, alleging discrimination, assault, battery and infliction of emotional distress.

Employees were paddled with rival companies' yard signs as part of a contest that pitted sales teams against each other, according to court documents. The winners poked fun at the losers, throwing pies at them, feeding them baby food, making them wear diapers and swatting their buttocks.

"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.

Lawyers for Alarm One, an Anaheim-based, 300-employee company, said the spankings were part of a voluntary program to build camaraderie and were not discriminatory because they were given to both male and female workers.

"This is being done for one reason and one reason only ? money," said K. Poncho Baker, the company's lawyer.

Alarm One officials ceased the practice in 2004, the year Orlando sued, after another employee complained of being injured, according to court records.

They had to wear diapers? Didn't that strike anyone as being odd?

Don't let loryn find out about this...Adult.com would be in trouble lol

sounds like something David Brent from The Office would do!

sucks to be an employee of that company :)

Is that for real?:1orglaugh

you can spank me for that money

dam what a fucking moron who would put their company on the line like that she's definitely gonna win

Holy shit, 1.2 mil for a spanking? I mean... common.

Fucking suck it up lol, it was a friendly competition and her team lost. Deal with it.


I tell ya, ppl are to quick to jump to their guns and call their lawyers these days.

ROFL ... nice practice by her boss, must have been a hella cool job

Haha. That is a crazy way to try to motivate people.

sounds like whoever organized that misses their frat.

what the fuck, how can you sue over that :\

I vaguely recall a McDonald's employee spanking episode a while back - a young girl. It was on 60 Minutes or something at the time...

seems like a lot of crazy shit goes on in fresno

suing people and the amounts people are suing for is getting out of control....she should be sued for suing for that much. :pimp

hahaha nice

well she should of been able to have the option if she wanted to participate. people being spanked infront of their co-workers is a bit twisted. i don't think i'd put up with someone forcing me to eat baby food either. its not college rush week, its a job.

Voluntary implies she did have "the option"

...

Yeah but alot of things are "voluntary" and then your job will be gone after that day lol.

Agreed - but sue the idiot judges who are awarding these ridiculous sums to people.

Holy Shit she got 1.2 mil for a spanking?!? I am looking at 100 mil easy! :Graucho


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

i doubt a jury in fresno will award her anything.

She wouldn't have made 1.2 mil at her job anyway. Why should she get that much? If anything she should get what her yearly income was for up to 5 years and that is it. But in this case I don't think she should get anything! :mad:
