Reports suggest the employees were made to walk on all fours after they failed to meet the targets set by the company. The video shows the employees being led by a man carrying a red flag in Tengzhou, China.
The company has faced flak for the “humiliating punishment.”
The incident that was captured on camera by shocked bystanders, was halted only when the police intervened.
