Well, that is going to backfire because they just made all new stress for the current employees
Toxic positivity in action
I fail to see how getting fired because you said your work environment was stressful is a benefit. Losing your income is a significant stressor.
It was toxic internet point grabbing in action - https://indianstartupnews.com/news/yes-madam-clarifies-on-firing-over-100-employees-for-being-stressed-says-no-one-was-fired-it-was-an-awareness-initiative-8416411
Yeah, but the original message sounded even more like BS. Like surely no one would think its a good idea to post on social media that you are firing your stressed employees to make a ‘supportive’ workplace. That makes no sense. So yeah, the explanation is bad - but I don’t think its untrue. It’s just that the original post was a bad idea.
And they just included them all in the ‘to’ instead of bcc. Very professional.
Yes, but you always BCC large groups like that to prevent reply-all disasters.
I was once on a massive reply-all chain. Most of the emails were “stop replying all!” But one made me chuckle. “I like these emails it makes me feel important.”
Ah you’re right, I missed the “impacted employees will receive” line. Tired skimming fails again.
It’s normally standard to send mass emails using BCC to avoid someone using the Reply All button to spam up people’s inboxes.
The stressed employees were almost certainly the high performers lmao
This is wow, I mean we are used to a lot, but wow.
They also write “100% Purely Bhartiya Brand” on their (really terrible) page. I am not indian, so I might be wrong, but this raises some questionmarks.
If anyone has questions about what bhartiya means, it means Indian.
So the whole phrase means 100% purely Indian company. Equivalent to the phrase 100% purely American company.
In both countries, this could indicate alignment with the ultra nationalist party in power who have been espousing a push to produce goods within the country instead of importing from china, or just a normal support local businesses thing.
If my business is local, buying from local suppliers as much as possible and employing local people it shouldn’t matter at all, if these local employees are ethnically the same and all have the same nationality.
So i would take it more as the former, ultra nationalist.
I do think it’s more likely to be the former.
But I wouldn’t take “100% American company” to mean all employees are American citizens. I would take it to mean that all employees are living in and working from the US. Which makes it more ambiguous than your interpretation of the phrase.
