this is likely satire/a publicity stunt by the way
edit: proof. trust your gut yall.
And you really believe that?
“Let’s pretend we fire all employees that are stressed out over or horror practices, will be a great commercial!”
What that link says is that they fucked around and found out and are now making up bullshit excuses to contain the find.
It was reported by several outlets as true.
Risky publicity stunt if that’s what it was.
id believe it if there was a single outlet doing original reporting :/ all of them are just reading verbatim the same screenshots we have here. some of them bother to put the word “allegedly” in.
Your assertion has even less basis though… It’s been a day, if it weren’t true surely they would have issued a refutation…
If you’d put “probably” in your statement you’d be on more solid ground.
you were downvoted but you were correct. vindication!

Edit: fixed link thx @spujb@lemmy.cafe
I’m very surprised anyone in this community would actually believe this. As several of the cross posts detail, India has better worker protections than this. It’s almost guaranteed fake. Also the text doesn’t match up across the screenshot so it looks photoshopped in some way.
Well there are a few stories on it so far. Guess we will find out if real in the next few days.
If you are dissatisfied with your current position, it may be more productive to focus on exploring new opportunities rather than remaining in an unfulfilling role.
Why exactly did you decide to write that?
Any employee has more understanding of their own best interests than you or their employer do, and these folks had been choosing to remain with the company up until that moment.
So one can reasonably assume that most people are worse off when they get fired, even given any survey response whatsoever.
The employee believed it was beneficial to express their feelings and stress levels to their employer. However, this information was subsequently used against them. Given the stress the employee was experiencing, a more effective course of action might have been to exercise discretion and focus on finding a new job rather than voicing their concerns in a manner that could be counterproductive.
Probably just a front for tech support scam call center anyway.
I have seen the exact same behavior here Canada with companies that are led by Indians. They treat it like a sweatshop. and this was an office.
I’ve been subject to the same treatment by a white person in Canada. Three out of my 5 colleagues were from India because apparently they were the only ones that could take it. They didn’t fire me they made my life hell until I quit because of my mental health crisis. They made me sign bad performance reviews, the manager and her assistant shouted and screamed at me and made me work on holidays and kept accusing me of things that are not true until I quit. They did this to other people as well and no one had any grounds to sue them because they knew how to play the game. It’s not just Indians that do this in Canada. Some Canadians do it too. This happen in the national capital region no less.
I work with a few Indian development teams, and “sweatshop” is an apt description. We work on software dependencies, as specified by them. After we deliver, they decide it’s not what they wanted, change the specs and treat it as a “drop everything else” bug. It gives me no greater pleasure than telling them to relax, that we’ll get to it in due time when we have the capacity. I like to think that a few of their managers already popped a vein.
There was quite a few in the UK as well, mostly in Leicester (large Indian immigrant population there). People being paid £3 an hour when it should have been about £8 at the time.
If you buy cheap clothes from the likes of BooHoo you should know that they’re made in these places, and if you buy expensive clothes, then they’re probably made in the exact same conditions with a nicer label sewn in the back and a better PR department to handwave away any wrongdoing.
Has this been reported? If this Is in Canada there are worker protection services…
yes it has been and these places still exist today. They especially love taking advantage of their own.
