Punishment all the way! The manager should have just given the employee a stern talking-to and a performance improvement plan. Demoting them is overkill.

None of the above? This is clearly a case of the manager pulling a Darth Vader and force-choking the employee into submission.

I don't know, maybe the manager was just trying to motivate the employee to do better. Negative reinforcement, perhaps?

Demoting an employee? That's like taking away a kid's dessert for not cleaning their room - definitely a form of punishment.
