  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.

      Oe 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.

    Yes, because humans are messy.

    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.
