In September this year, Ms. Yang from the SPA group of Changsha Theme Health Center was punished for failing to meet the company's performance standards that month. She ate raw peppers and bitter gourd. Even after eating four peppers, Ms. Yang still felt uncomfortable and fainted on the spot. She was sent to see a doctor and diagnosed as "superficial gastritis". According to the mobile phone video provided by Ms. Yang, nearly 10 employees of the group received such punishment that day.
Ms. Yang said that the people who eat fresh peppers and bitter gourd slices in the video are all employees of the theme health center. According to the environmental protection agreement, their performance is not up to standard. After eating four peppers and half a bitter gourd, she felt sick on the spot.
After feeling unwell, Ms. Yang was taken to hospital for treatment. The results of gastroscopy in Changsha First Hospital showed that she was diagnosed as "superficial gastritis". Ms. Yang told reporters that she joined the spa team of "Environmental Treaty Theme Health Pavilion" in February 20 18. In September this year, the company set performance targets for team employees while carrying out promotional activities. Because the performance was not completed, all the team members led by Ms. Yang were punished for eating raw peppers and bitter melons. What surprised her even more was that during her rest at home, the company kicked her out of the working group, and the store emblem and work number were also changed.
The punishment system was recognized by the staff, and the health center admitted that she had neglected her duty and failed to provide the handover notice. The woman decided to leave her job automatically, and it was stipulated that the health of the staff should not be harmed. The health center pays for medical treatment.
The person in charge of the theme health center said that the team members led by Ms. Yang were indeed punished that day, but the punishment system had been recognized by all employees in the early days. After the incident, they realized that there was negligence in the early stage of implementation.
The person in charge of the hospital said that because Ms. Yang had been recuperating at home for a month, she did not provide an application form and did not handle the handover work with the company. During this period, she also took drastic action. According to the rules and regulations, she is considered to have left her job voluntarily.
