After someone asking about whether anyone was ever actually made to do cleaning with a toothbrush and knowing I saw it done thought might be interesting to create a thread of various things like that we experienced from lower conditions or just plain punishment for low stats.
As a TTC member at our org the policy on Too Gruesomes was often applied. This was where you were supposed to pick a consequence that was 'too gruesome to face'--the point being if you didn't make your target or quota you would have to do this thing. Instead it resulted in staff doing a lot of physical labor and such.
Talking to my son last night, it turned out he had been put on toothbrush duty several times.
Other things off the top of my head:
Cleaning bathrooms. OMG! Totally forgot that a fellow TTCer was put on cleaning BATHROOMS with a toothbrush.
Cleaning rugs with a rag and turpentine.
Scrubbing trash dumpster.
Being made to run laps around the building while people yelled degrading things at you. Found out my son did this while being chased by staff and having rocks thrown at his back.
Death threats.
House broken into and then physically escorted into building and made to sit alone in a tiny room for the day--no break, no food, etc.
Having car keys taken from you and locked so you could not 'escape'.
Five minute breaks for lunch and dinner--and usually not getting the full 5.
There's a lot more, but that is a start. And this wasn't the SO. This was a regular org.
