Their explanation sounds like ad hoc BS.

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.

It’s it actually toxic if you really do benefit from it?

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.

Or even not getting fired, but seeing your coworkers being fired for that. Sure whole departments are going to be stressed now.

You don’t benefit from it. Having been in a place where positivity is a focus, it’s just ignoring any problems or criticism that can’t be addressed with a work harder attitude. It forces out anyone not drinking the Kool aid, and those tend to be better employees.

And when output and production drop 35% next quarter, you can be damn sure they’ll whip out the “We’re a family here!!!” talk as they announce even more layoffs to pad the bottom line.

There are ten livestock animals in captivity for every one human. You’re still lucky to be born a human anywhere on earth, because we are the monsters.

That’s a lot of text to not mention that the main issue is British Imperialism. The UK was only interested in resource extraction from India, meaning minimal investment was made into the area for centuries.

I’m from Pakistan, which should be even more similar to India than Turkey is.

Yeah, they did, but the remaining employees won’t dare complain about it so management sees this as a twofer win.

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.
