According to the complaint, store management ranked sales consultants each month and identified the lowest-performing employee. The lawsuit alleges managers directed coworkers to tie that employee to a chair in a back office before another employee smashed a cream pie into the person’s face. Figueroa claims the incidents served as punishment for failing to meet sales expectations. Figueroa claims the practice began when he started work on Feb. 2 and continued until his employment ended on Feb. 27. An ex-Comcast employee claims the company allowed coworkers to tie low-performing workers to chairs then strike them with pies in the rear of Plainville location.
