This is the topic for todays episode. I have had to do some very dumb things, like attend a meeting where a manager stood on a desk and yelled, What horse are you riding on? I have been forced to stand for an hour or so because we failed as a team to make a sales quota. Yes, I have been given trivial gifts like a chocolate bar for making a set number of sales. So trust me when I say these and other things mentioned in the episode are true. So let's dive in and learn what not to do when managing staff in a centre. This is EP25006, Bizarre Manager Tactics.
