Connecticut Comcast Employees Allegedly Had Pies Smashed in Faces Over Poor Sales: Lawsuit
A Connecticut Comcast store subjected low-performing employees to pies in the face as punishment for missing sales targets, according to a new lawsuit.
The suit filed in Superior Court of New Haven at Meriden alleges the store manager at the Plainville location directed the top sales consultant to tie the lowest performer to a chair in the back office and smash a cream pie into their face, reports al.com.
David Figueroa says he joined as a retail sales consultant on February 2nd and left weeks later after learning of the practice designed to push sales goals.
He claims he saw a coworker endure the punishment while the manager recorded it on video.
