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.

I don’t believe anything, is my point. Everything about this reads to me as made up attention seeking. So sure, you wouldn’t be wrong to guess maybe the latest news is false too.

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.

The company faced significant backlash after allegedly terminating employees under stress and later clarified that the move was part of an awareness initiative.

lmao yeah right. Get fucked. “Ohh we tots didn’t mean it besties”

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.

As detailed in the cross post, all those stories just reference one source. It’s functionally useless information.

No one was firebombed at YesMadam!

To my Lemmy family and community,

I sincerely apologize for any distress caused by my recent social media post calling for the firebombing of YesMadam’s corporate headquarters. Let me be clear: I would never take such an inhuman step. I deeply respect the value of all human life.

My social media post was a planned effort to highlight the serious issue of firebombing corporate headquarters. And to those who shared angry comments of voiced strong opinions, I say thank you. When people speak up, it shows they care.

Were YesMadam’s corporate headquarters really firebombed? Absolutely not.

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.

Work Reform

!workreform@lemmy.world

Create post

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
