See How Staffs Are Punish In China To Crawl In Public For Failing To Meet Sales Target

Chinese firms are known to push employees hard in an effort to drive forward business, although human rights groups have expressed concern about the methods employed.

Some staffs in the city of Zhengzhou China have been made to crawl in public for failing to meet a sales quota.

The length of time spent on the punishment varied, with the fastest individual finishing the nearly two mile journey in a little over an hour, while the slowest crawler took nearly three hours before he finished. In his particular case, his jeans were torn and his knees bleeding from the constant pounding on the irregularly-shaped wooden planks. Other workers were also bleeding from their palms, having torn calluses off on the nails holding down the boardwalk. Despite many tears and much pain, according to the supervisor, all the employees were expected to be back at work the next day to begin meeting the new, increased sales quota.
