Video: Chinese staff beg to be slapped for 'not working hard'

Beijing - The video of the male workers being flayed by the female manager has gone viral.

Imagine being slapped for slackness! That's what exactly happened in Yichang, Hubei Province (China) as the manager of a real estate company smacked the agents for being unable to meet their targets. What's more, the 'slap in the face' punishment was chosen by the under-performers themselves. In fact, they reportedly begged for it.  
The six male workers were flayed for their 'slack attitude' at the office and got asked to come up with a solution, reported Mailonline.
The video - which went viral after being shared among local messaging groups on WeChat - shows workers standing in a row and being slapped by a female manager in the face one by one. The clip has also been shared and posted on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform.

Mr Hu, who works at the real estate company, was quoted as telling Huanqiu.com that the video was filmed during a monthly appraisal meeting in April. According to him when the female manager asked the agents to decide on a punishment to improve their performance, they came up with the slap solution. They repeatedly implored with Zhang, the manager, before she smacked them.
There was a huge outcry against the video, with web users hitting out at Zhang for the unsavoury punishment. She had to quit after she came under fire for the physical assault.
