Newsday reports on a court case brought by workers at a Discount health insurance company known as “Onionhead” that pressured them into what they considered religious practices:

But the judge said workers described a cultlike atmosphere with rites ranging from incense burning to “cleanse the workplace” and dimming lights to prevent demons from entering, to chants, prayers and delving into workers’ personal lives.”
