Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey

The only thing I could find is that Yes Madam is a real company and that the sender is indeed the HR head of that company. So if it’s fake, someone kept the header and signature of a real email. Or maybe a real email sent on April 1st? I have a hard time believing that this is real (not that a company wouldn’t do this, but the fact that they would admit to it so blatantly like it’s not a bad thing).

There’s a news article linked in another comment.

It was real, and 100 people were fired.

  In response, YES Madam stated on LinkedIn, apologising for any distress caused by the campaign. The company stated that it “would never take such a step” and that the action was intended to draw attention to the critical issue of workplace stress.

  I don’t even know what you were citing, but now that the news is out let this be a lesson to not just take everything in the news for granted. All the slop outlets were just reading the same screenshot in this post verbatim and did no original reporting.
