One of my buddies' little brother just started his first sales gig out of college with a pretty well-known, large company so I was surprised to hear that his first couple weeks were marred by hazing.
He was left behind at the restaurant without transportation at his welcome lunch, was given ranch instead of creamer in his coffee, had his cellphone hidden in the women's bathroom, and was given a list of numbers of known to be deceased prospects to call.
Nothing really resembling the terrors of your stereotypical Greek life hazing, but I'd still be pissed if I was the dude just trying to get my feet wet for the first time in a professional setting. He's going along with it for now, but I thought it's interesting that stuff like that can still fly in today's HR-laden work culture.
Anyone else been hazed/do the hazing in the workplace?
