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.

The stoner dudes high as balls 247 who don't give a shit and are not stressed a bit: :DDD

I have always engaged with every one of them and have been negative quite often yet never anything bad came of it. Probably because we have employee rights where I live. So the actual problem is americas lacks of rights.

Or engage with them but expect the repercussions.

I'm very candid when this shit comes around my corp and am extremely nuanced in explaining the culture challenges.

The trick is to not explicitly call anyone out and highlight it's a systemic problem.

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.

"Beatings didn't work. Let's try hunger and homelessness"

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

It seems that it's most likely an out-of-touch marketing stunt. The company, Yes Madam, is apparently launching some sort of corporate wellness program type thing so they are likely going to pivot this publicity into "Treating employees like that would be awful right?! But companies do have stressed employees and should take care of them with...blah".

I hope it fully backfires and they go out of business.

EDIT: It just hit me that they are going to say "We didn't have a single employee who indicated stress on the survey, because we take care of our employees."

It's India. Of course it's not fake.

There was quite a few in the UK as well, mostly in Leicester (large Indian immigrant population there). People being paid £3 an hour when it should have been about £8 at the time.

If you buy cheap clothes from the likes of BooHoo you should know that they're made in these places, and if you buy expensive clothes, then they're probably made in the exact same conditions with a nicer label sewn in the back and a better PR department to handwave away any wrongdoing.

Has this been reported? If this Is in Canada there are worker protection services....

It was reported by several outlets as true.

Risky publicity stunt if that’s what it was.

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 respond to all of them with brutal honestly. My most recent one was along the lines of

"A major topic of the town hall meeting was the push to get [sales number] by the end of the year. We did the same thing last year and I got a 2% raise. What is my incentive to make you money if my raises don't even match inflation?"

Even if it's anonymous, my boss knows it's me. This way I can bring it up in my review as a callback as opposed to trying to awkwardly work it in to the conversation

I love those.

I filled one out onetime and one of my teammates told us it's really anonymous.

So I bet him $100 dollars that I could prove it wasn't.

we filled them out and a couple days later I printed off his survey and taped it to his monitor.

he was pissed. I told him he could keep the $100 because the look on his face was worth it.

I had access to the drive where all the reports spit out. in the reports were the IPs of the submitters. I knew his IP and just grepped it. I'm sure leadership does the same thing.
