Humiliating stunt is latest in a series of headline-grabbing workplace punishments
Video footage shows employees at a Chinese beauty company crawling along the street on their hands and knees after failing to meet targets.
Pedestrians in Tengzhou, in the eastern Shandong province, are seen looking on in astonishment as half a dozen female workers and one man crawl along the street, led by a man carrying a flag bearing the company’s name.
The firm reportedly sells beauty products, and the unfortunate employees had failed to meet their end-of-year sales targets, according to local news website DZWWW.
The crawl came to an end when police intervened.
One of the women who participated in the punishment told local media that she did so voluntarily as “self-discipline” for failing to meet her targets, and said the other crawlers consisted of the company’s owners and other senior managers rather than junior employees.
Nonetheless, the footage quickly went viral, provoking a “hot discussion” online. Many commenters lambasted the firm’s bosses for the humiliating stunt, but others “targeted the employees for silently accepting such kind of behaviour”, says India Today.
Local authorities said the company has been temporarily closed for “rectification”, Yahoo reports.
English-language Chinese news and culture website Shanghai-ist notes that this is far from the first workplace punishment to go viral in China.
Similar scandals have seen displeased bosses “slap or spank workers, as well as making them eat live mealworms, choke down bitter gourd, or drink toilet water for coming up with sub-par results”.

And it’s coming to America just in a different style . As you reach any goal at all the goal posts get moved and you are layed off or fired for non performance . Fired for cause is the best one that way the employer beats you out of unemployment insurence keeping the companies rate down paid to the state . Socialized debt and privitized profit , crony capitalism in the twilights last gleaming …
Most employees in the US are “Employees at Will”, meaning they be fired for any reason or no reason, so long as it doesn’t run afoul of the Civil Rights Act. They can’t fire you for race or religion, but they can fire you for being 45 seconds late one day even after 30 years loyal service.
If you think they’re going to fire you, just pull out the I’m a alcoholic and I really need help before they say anything.
Then bleed it out as long as possible.
Carry on.
And what happens if they refuse to crawl?
Oh, we don’t need to use too much imagination to figure that part out.
Am I the only one who found that arousing as fuck?
Depends on whether they look like Nancy Pelosi or Natalie Portman.
My first thought too. Women on all fours in a toxic masculinity environment. Yes arousing lmao
In miniskirts would have been better. Woo hoo!
I’m constantly amazed at what people allow others to do to them. Have they no pride? Are there no other jobs these people can do that they have to put up with this humilation?
Meanwhile, silence from the “feminists” I’m sure. I’m also sure they still think all cultures are equal though.
Deafening silence. Meanwhile, Russia is the state approved boogeyman. Right…..
Well, at least they didn’t have one worker’s mouth sewed onto the ass of another worker.
Like in the movie “Centipede”.
Did that really happen ever?
I think if some US companies started employing these techniques with their snowflake employees, productivity in the US might improve markedly.
I can see it now. A Starbucks manager waiving a flag with the Starbucks logo, walking down the street with a trail of baristas on their knees because they didn’t prepare lattes fast enough.
I can only dream.
Ashame that only western white men can have toxic masulinity. Nothing to see here. Move along. Ceo is a man. Execs are men. Man carrying company flag is a man. But leftist libtards see no toxicity here…..
There are 1.5 billion people there. They outnumber their oppressors at least 10,000 to one. The fight would last about 10 seconds. At some point they will do the math and that will be the end.
Keep consuming. Keep needing the system. It’s coming to America for those who need the stuff.
Orrrr…. starve the beast and be independent. Live a simple life.
And NO, white people, you did NOT build the system. Your HELPED build the system. The system was built by the merchants. Stop helping the system. Find your real roots (hint: not based in the desert) and live a simple life.
Iska, this movie might fit your arousal template….
