The Salt Lake Tribune reports Employee's suit: Company used waterboarding to motivate workers.
Prosper, Inc. is a motivational coaching business in Provo, UT. Former salesman Chad Hudgens filed a lawsuit describing a team building exercise he participated in, run by his team leader, Joshua Christopherson.
"Christopherson led the sales team to the top of a hill near the office and told Hudgens to lie down with his head downhill, the suit claims. Christopherson then told the rest of the team to hold Hudgens by the arms and legs. Christopherson poured water from a gallon jug over Hudgens' mouth and nostrils - like the interrogation strategy known as "waterboarding" - and told the team members to hold Hudgens down as he struggled, the suit alleges. 'At the conclusion of his abusive demonstration, Christopherson told the team that he wanted them to work as hard on making sales as Chad had worked to breathe while he was being waterboarded,' the suit alleges."
Other people who were there have not corroborated the story.
