A slap in the face with a wet squid: the weird world of workplace punishments
From the cabin staff shut in overhead lockers to the staff forced to peck one another like chickens, humiliating rituals are all in a day’s work for some
It is described, perversely, as a team-building exercise; it is reported that, as a forfeit for missing their weekly sales targets, staff at Central Claims Group – a call centre – in Bury are made to lie down on the floor while a good-sized squid is placed, or dropped, on their faces. It could be worse – it’s not a live squid, so it can’t sucker itself on to your mouth and nose, and it’s raw, so at least you know it hasn’t been overcooked. As an employment policy, it sits somewhere between a ritual humiliation and a stupid waste of everyone’s time.Managers at Central Claims Group are at pains to point out that such forfeits are chosen by staff with the highest sales figures, and that everybody has consented to the punishment beforehand, but it is certainly a questionable workplace practice. Sadly, this is not an isolated exercise. Weird workplace punishments have a long and chequered history.
Human cockfight. As part of a class action suit launched last year against the Australian fundraising company Appco, it was alleged that underperforming employees – in this case, chuggers – were obliged to square off on their knees at morning meetings, with their arms tied behind their backs, and peck one another into submission. This was one of a number of alleged regular rituals that ranged from “sluggie races” (squirming across the office carpet on one’s back, like a slug), to having a cigarette shoved up your bum. But hey, it’s for charity. Appco are contesting this.

How many Apple Watches has Apple sold? It still isn’t saying
Let’s take a little quiz. Which of the following Apple items is out of place here?
IPhone sales: 50.7 million units. Revenue of $33.2 billion.
Mac sales: 4.2 million units. Revenue of $5.84 billion.
IPad sales: 8.9 million units. Revenue of $3.9 billion.
Services sales: $7.04 billion.
Apple Watch sales: Uh…Nothing to see here. Apple Watch revenue: (Insert sound of crickets chirping and video of tumbleweeds rolling through a deserted town.)
OK, it’s not completely like that, but pretty close. You see, when Apple reported its second-quarter results on Tuesday, it gave updates on all of its major product lines. All of them except the Apple Watch.
As Apple has done for some time now, the company lumps Apple Watch sales in with Apple TV, iPods, Beats products and a few other things into a category colorfully called “Other Products.”
Now, taken altogether, sales of Other Products are nothing to make fun of. Apple said sales of all that other stuff totaled $2.87 billion in the quarter that ended April 1. And that was a 31 percent gain over the $2.2 billion in Other Products sales that Apple had a year ago. To put Apple’s Other Products revenue in some perspective: That $2.87 billion was almost three times the $984 million that Advanced Micro Devices reported for everything it sold during its first quarter of this year.
So Apple’s selling a lot of Other Products. And yet it doesn’t want to say how much it’s selling.
When Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook and Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri delivered Apple’s results, and took questions from Wall Street analysts on Tuesday, they, as usual, didn’t give any exact sales figures for the Apple Watch.
Sure, it’s Apple’s right to not say how many Apple Watches it has sold. But, for a product that Apple launched with almost as much hoopla as the Super Bowl, has made part of several ad campaigns, and has touted as a central tool for people keeping track of their health information, you might think that Apple would want to puff out its chest just a bit and say “We sold eleventy bazillions Apple Watches last quarter.”
That is, unless it hasn’t sold anywhere near that number.
It looks like for now, and for the foreseeable future, we’re going to have to live with just what Cook wants to say about Apple Watch sales. When he ran through the highlights of Apple’s second quarter, the only qualifiers he gave about the Apple Watch were generalities such as that sales “nearly doubled from a year ago,” and that the Other Products business is now “well into the Fortune 500” territory.
Whatever territory those Apple Watch sales are in, we’re going to have to keep on guessing. For whatever reason, Cook & Co. don’t want to say. Maybe they’re holding out for when Other Products gets into the Fortune 100 territory? Maybe they’re going to give us all a surprise and tell us with the next Apple Watch update? Maybe they’re waiting until they can say Apple really did sell “eleventy bazillion” Apple Watches?
Or maybe they’re just going to keep their mouths shut.

The 7 best jobs for anyone who hates talking to people
Some people just generally prefer to keep their mouths shut.
If you’re not a big talker, there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it’s important that you land in a working environment where you’re comfortable.
What jobs will allow you to take care of business without having to talk to people all day long?
To find out, we scoured the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a US Department of Labor database that compiles detailed information on hundreds of jobs.
O*NET ranks how important communication is to the job on a scale between 1 and 100, with a higher number indicating communication is more important.
We averaged the scores of the jobs that don’t require extensive communication with supervisors, peers, or subordinates over the phone, in writing, via email or in person with the jobs that don’t necessitate much communication with individuals and entities outside of your organization.
Each of these positions has an averaged communication score of 41 or less and has a median annual salary of more than $40,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
