How does one get forced to strip at a meeting?

[Carriage Hill]

I would taught her to say NO, and walk out.

[JBW1949]

After the fact.............

What if you were related to this young woman in some way? Would you still be proud of mocking? Let’s hope she’s not a Freeper.

Some of the activities might have some merit, but there’s no way intimidating people to remove clothing and hug each other in an undressed state (while being recorded) makes any sense at all, unless the recordings were going to be used as blackmail or to be sold to porn sites. All of the participants should’ve balked at that and stormed the door to get out, but fear of losing a job can be a strong incentive to do stupid things. I can see why the event-holders took the cell phones.

I believe it. I’ve known people in cults who were subjected to hellish seminars like this, it can really screw you up!

[IgnorerOfLiberals]

I believe her. Some well known companies still do crazy stuff.

[MHGinTN]

She did eventually say no mas. You apparently do not understand the agenda of peer pressure whcihshe was under, by design of the twisted seminar leadership.

Last time I dined at Panda Express, they specifically asked me not to remove any clothing.

[gathersnomoss]

Was she wearing her mask?

[gathersnomoss]

Was she allowed to take a leak?

[Chewbarkah]

Article says she was “made to” or “forced to” do disrobe. Words have meaning, and those imply the employee had no choice in the matter. So what sort of force was used?

In any event, the idiots who ran this program deserve having to pay big damages, no matter how weak the “force”. What in heck were they thinking?

A co-worker tried to get me to sign up for EST. Sounded intriguing, but I said no. THANK GOD.

[JohnnyP]

General Cho, maybe, but NOT General Tsao.

[ealgeone]

Did she have to apologize for being white? Kneel before anyone?

[tbw2]

Would you say the EST seminars in the show “The Americans” are an accurate portrayal?

[Carriage Hill]

I understand it, but would simply walk out and get another job.

[Carriage Hill]

Before the fact.

[Carriage Hill]

She would have left BEFORE it happened, and I’d sue the living shit out of the company. Count on it.

[JBW1949]

Let’s say your daughter did NOT leave BEFORE it happened...

Would you call your daughter an idiot as you did this girl???
