Beating the Employees - Is It Effective?

[Zat]

I've read several people indicating that they beat on their misbehaving employees with a bat as a corrective measure. Does that actually work to speed them up, get them back on task, make them drop 'stolen' items, anything useful? Or is it just a cope to alleviate stress from dealing with their buggy behavior?

Update - I just saw a tip when i continued my game that said:
"Employees slacking off? Try punching them!"
So, I guess this is a real thing and not a figment? Let the beatings commence.

Definitely beat your employees. One stood there for an entire day and didnt even water a single plant, one good beating and he was back in business!

If need be, do the Johnny Gay method and introduce something to the lazy employee's knees

i only beat them when they get stuck but have to try this if they're slow

It did reset my idle botanist when he woke up the next day, so it seems to work.

Does this work on dealers? I have one who seems to bring in cash much slower than the other two and I'm wondering if they need a slap lol
