I think most people are probably 'hazed' on the job in some way. Especially if a raise is dependent on esoteric performance, which it should not be, like going to happy hour with your co-workers. It is not mandatory, but it made a difference. I think hazing on the job occurs most often when you start working for a company. 'They' will try to give you difficult clients / assignments or put you through the 'ropes' just to see if you can handle it.
