This happened today at a company in India. Better keep a smile on your face

Everyone who has reported experiencing stress at work has been fired.
Everyone who has reported having a really easy time of it has been retained.
Incidentally, the amount of work getting done at our company has plummeted.
- Also incidently everyone remaining is extremely stressed about feeling stressed and getting laid off. Good luck, yall.
  
  No no no. They're not stress. Nobody is admitting to being stress.
  They are, however, much more active on LinkedIn job posting all of a sudden.

WTF i'm really hoping this is fake
- A quick search returning several news articles suggests it's real. Pretty gross.
  
  All the articles I've visited just write about the image in the OP and state that they haven't verified the claims, f.e:
  However, India Today could not independently verify the authenticity of the viral screenshot of the email.

  Also interesting to how at least one reposter seem to be a digital marketer.
  "Shitiz Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo"
  I wouldn't be surprised if this is all fake and meant to spread the company name.
  
  India? The HR teams here are worse than cartels. Heartless.
- I don’t think it’s that easy to “effective immediately “. I know my company managed problem employees out over months. Employees in India are much better protected than in the US.

  India doesn’t recognize at-will employment
  Barring cases of severe misconduct, you generally can’t dismiss an employee in India without notice or paying the employee out. Employers need reasonable cause to involuntarily dismiss employees, which includes willful insubordination, theft, fraud, extensive unexcused absences, and disorderly conduct on company property
  
  And filing a case because you were illegally fired could take decades
- It's not fake. Search it and full articles will come up
  
  And that's how disinformation killed the Information Age.
  Edit: Come on. You lot shouldn't need my help finding a verifiable source yourselves. If there's so many articles on it, I'm sure you can find at least one verifying the source without my help. Or you can subscribe to an ad populum fallacy and believe a mass of articles presenting no actual evidence. You'll find the answers to the questions you ask me with your own initiative. I believe in you!

- At least they are all coming.
  
  In a relationship it's important to make sure everyone comes

The beatings will continue until morale improves

I like that "fostering a healthy and supportive work environment" translated to "CULL THE WEAK!"

Wouldn't happen in the US. Instead they'd change the workload of the employees that were most problematic based on the survey to the point where they weren't doing a good job anymore, and then let them go due to inability to perform.
All healthcare, including mental well being, should be separate from a job because of this.
- Yeah shit worker protection laws can do that. You can't fire people for underperforming here for instance.

There’s a disappointing lack of IT Crowd references in this thread
- are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? are you sure? ............
- Thank you for your service

This is what happens if you don't allow slavers to carry a whip.
- They pick up a different whip.
- They find a way, one way or another, they find a way.

Companies value liars who compete for the best readily made fake speech. Nothing new to see here.

Pretty sure this is the plot of a dystopian Doctor Who episode. Two actually, thinking about it.
- Happiness Patrol and Smile?
  
  Bingo

Dystopian

Anyone still experiencing stress at the end of the day WILL BE FIRED!

- I'm going to pop this balloon, but I'm not going to tell you when! Does this stress you out Jen?!

In the interests of maintaining a healthy population, we have increased our investment in hospitals. Every doctor has a new gun and will shoot you if you're sick.

Every interaction you have with a large employer is to their benefit, don't forget it. You are not a part of the broader consideration, as a human, beyond what you cost and what you can produce.

Sounds like their leadership team could use a few adjustments.
- Hopefully nobody takes the recent news headlines in NYC as a call to action to make these adjustments. That'd be unthinkable despicable. /s

Imagine if they kept just one of the people who reported feeling stressed... How stressed do you think they'd be after seeing this?
That'll give them perspective! Next time they won't feel so stressed out 😀
(This was all written very tongue in cheek. I am not a serious person.)

I’m assuming that it was one of those anonymous surveys…who ever believed that they’re anonymous?

Maybe committed to destroy a healthy work environment, e.g. a work environment in which employees can be open about how they feel and don’t need to fake being happy?

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

yes madam 🥴

Capitalism baby! Cut the weak. It's not us, it's you.
Fucked up.
