4:28Now PlayingA bank in China wanted to punish its underperforming employees. They hired a motivational speaker who punished them in front of a live audience, with spanking. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"Video apparently showing a corporate motivational coach spanking Chinese bank employees for substandard work has spread across the Internet in China, drawing criticism and an unusual confession from the spanker.
"Spanking was a training model I have been exploring for many years," trainer Jiang Yang said on his Chinese social media account, according to the Reuters news agency.
Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank, in the northern province of Shanxi, contracted a firm based in Shanghai to try and improve staff performance.
As part of his motivational message, the cell phone video -- which has been viewed many thousands of times on Weibo, China's version of Twitter -- shows Jiang walking back and forth behind a row of eight bank employees on a stage, doling out loud smacks to each of their backsides with what appears to be a paddle or broad stick every time he passes.
Some of the employees (four women and four men) appear to wince in pain at the blows.”*
