Bullied staff at EE forced to bark like dogs and do squats as punishment for poor performance

BULLIED staff at Britain’s biggest mobile-phone operator have been forced to bark like dogs and do squats as punishment for poor performance, the Morning Star can reveal.

Tormented workers have lifted the lid on a “demeaning” workplace culture at EE after Zoom recordings, heard by the Star, between staff and senior managers were uncovered.

Staff at EE sites run by the Commture 365 franchise are heard being ordered to do squats if their shop has underperformed.
