Court Case Accuses Panda Express of Subjecting Employees to 'Cult-Like' Training That Forces Them to Strip With Co-Workers

In the past few weeks, we’ve learned that Coke and UnderArmour subjected employees to bizarre, woke training that told them to “try to be less white.” One might think that that’s as bad as corporate training could get.

Panda Express in California asks corporate America to hold its beer.

The Boston Herald reports that a former employee is suing Panda Express for degrading training:

A former employee of a Panda Express in Santa Clarita alleges she was required to strip down to her underwear and hug a partially clad co-worker during a “cult-like ritual” at a 2019 training seminar sponsored by the company as a prerequisite to promotion.

The 23-year-old woman is suing Panda Restaurant Group, headquartered in Rosemead, and Alive Seminars and Coaching Academy in Pico Rivera for sexual battery, a hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

This could cross from a civil case over into sexual assault. The Herald doesn’t name the plaintiff in the suit for that reason.

This is Alive Seminars and Coaching Academy, whose website generically promises “The Change In You Will Change the World.” All these seminar firms promise some version of that. The website also offers this incoherent mess, which begs an obvious question: Why would any competent person even consider hiring them?

Alive Seminars and Coaching Academy began with a vision and a statement powerful. That as the declaration is made, the action is taken Which was done with love and passion. With that love and passion creating basic and advanced programs and Leaderships To prepare leaders both in their community, in their jobs and their homes Alive continues to thrive on our dedication and passion given to each individual person and that is why great doors continue to open in our walk.

Like my mom always said:

"Always wear clean underwear. You never know when you'll have to strip for a company training seminar."

This is unintentionally hilarious. She PAID hundreds of dollars to be allowed to attend this!

Real cult-like training includes dressing alike, dining on poison, and catching a ride on a UFO that is chasing a comet’s tail.

When I had my heart attack last year, I remember saying to myself in the ER, “I’m glad I have on clean underwear!”...............

If you have to stand there in your underwear for an hour while a boring trainer speaks down at you, you might find him particularly ...

If a particularly ugly and obese team member stands forward for their turn, does the trainer say, ...

... “Moo, shoo!”?

It is VERY annoying when I order a known spicy dish like Kung Pao Chicken and they say “That is SPICY! Is that okay?” and then I order another one and they repeat the damn question!....................
