Stress Eliminated

This reads like a joke with an unhinged punchline. Totally insane behaviour.

Plot twist: The employees that reported they aren't stressed have suddenly become way more stressed after losing ¼ or more of their coworkers.

Just keep firing ‘til the stress goes away! ✨

Wasn't this literally a joke in the I.T. crowd

Looks like they leaned a lesson from Reynholm Industries.

🎈 📌 are you stressed yet?

The boring dystopia in this post is that this screenshot is spreading but this story still hasn't been verified. The only "news stories" I've seen about this just cover people's reactions to the screenshot. I hope Lemmy doesn't become just another platform filled with ragebait.

The truth never spreads as far as the lie. You didn't even use the "allegedly" qualifier in your post title. I doubt you were being deliberately malicious but unsubstantiated claims like this can destroy small businesses. There are dozens of examples of this happening.

The small business with hundreds of employees that has been on a major TV show? That one?

Yes Madam fits the Indian government's definition of small enterprise (small business). But even if it wasn't you shouldn't be posting bogus rage bait articles. I initially gave you the benefit of the doubt that you weren't trying to be malicious but now I'm less sure giving you're doubling down, focusing on red herrings, and not addressing my main point which is to verify what you're posting. Let's not turn Lemmy into Facebook.

I find it reported by more then one news thinger, so I feel conformable cross posting it since is fits here. You should provide something other then the logical equivalent to "Naw, I don't trust it" if you want to be on a high horse.

This is not a reputable news agency, this is an online forum. This story is unconfirmed from a second source, but more then good enough for here. Oh and I will be happy to provide the "small" enterprise's response/rebuttal to these allegations, if and when they do.

Yeah I don't know still sounds like damage control but I have no reason to trust them now with saying "it was just a joke" when that has been cover for lots of other terrible groups since forever.

Thank you, glad it was just a bone headed ploy. I will put an edit in.
