News from the States where one man has invented an alternative form of new starter induction: kidnapping.
According to reports, a man starting his new job at a firm in Utah received a bizarre welcome on his first day, when he was kidnapped by the manager put in charge of training him.
The alleged kidnapper had suggested they take an afternoon break from their duties, driven to a nearby petrol station to buy drinks, but then kept going rather than head back to work. He refused to stop the car until he pulled over for a toilet break.
Police later stopped the kidnapper after the terrified new recruit raised the alarm. In a classic understatement, police chief Scott Jackson said: "It obviously fits the elements of a kidnapping."
