Brit boss spanked colleague
London, Nov. 9: A Brit sales manager allegedly chased a female colleague around the office, put her across his knee and spanked her and even encouraged other women to grab his genitals.
Mr Peter Smith also looked at sex toys and blow up dolls on the Internet, an employment tribunal was told.
Mr Smith and some of his colleagues are accused of bullying and also harassing a former sales executive, Ms Angelina Ashby from Chesterfield who worked for a marine supplies firm.
The 40-year-old told the Sheffield tribunal that she was ostracised by staff for two years who teased her, talked about her in derogatory way, sent emails about her and excluded her from office banter.
She also claimed they drew insulting cartoons about her weight which drove her to taking anti-depressants. Ms Ashby started working for the firm in June 2003 as a sales executive for Cathelco.
Ms Ashby said problems began in September 2006 when Mr Smith became her sales manager. “I was subjected to a continuous course of mistreatment,” she said.
“A few days after my formal grievance was submitted, Ms Laura Holland, a sales administrator, was chased round the office by Mr Pete Smith, who then proceeded to put her over his knee and spank her,” the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
