Toxic positivity in action
It’s it actually toxic if you really do benefit from it?
Yes, because humans are messy.
Well, that is going to backfire because they just made all new stress for the current employees
Yeah, they did, but the remaining employees won’t dare complain about it so management sees this as a twofer win.
The stressed employees were almost certainly the high performers lmao
And they just included them all in the ‘to’ instead of bcc. Very professional.
That email is company wide, not specific to those fired
Yes, but you always BCC large groups like that to prevent reply-all disasters.
100% - it’s obviously a company run by slack jawed morons but the original comment had assumed it was only those affected getting the email, which is a different context
I was once on a massive reply-all chain. Most of the emails were “stop replying all!” But one made me chuckle. “I like these emails it makes me feel important.”
My favorite was when someone from HR finally replied and asked everyone to stop replying to all or else. Then one guy replied “Ok” to all.
I was once in a reply all email chain where one person got so irrate at everyone else that a subreddit was created just to post memes about this person. I wish I could remember the sub name, but it was years ago and the sub probably isnt there anymore anyway.
It’s normally standard to send mass emails using BCC to avoid someone using the Reply All button to spam up people’s inboxes.
Totally - just pointing out that implied in the first comment was those included in the email were the fired ones when that’s not the case
Ah you’re right, I missed the “impacted employees will receive” line. Tired skimming fails again.
Easy mistake to make - it wasn’t exactly front and center
“The beatings will continue until morale improves.”
“Beatings didn’t work. Let’s try hunger and homelessness”
This has got to be from The Onion… Right?
More like the onion banji

This is wow, I men we are used to a lot, but wow.
They also write “100% Purely Bhartiya Brand” on their (really terrible) page. I am not indian, so I might be wrong, but this raises some questionmarks.
If anyone has questions about what bhartiya means, it means Indian.
So the whole phrase means 100% purely Indian company. Equivalent to the phrase 100% purely American company.
In both countries, this could indicate alignment with the ultra nationalist party in power who have been espousing a push to produce goods within the country instead of importing from china, or just a normal support local businesses thing.
Every company I’ve worked at sends these surveys out and says they are “anonymous”. I never respond to them.
-
If they are truly anonymous, why does my boss personally call me out to respond to them? I know it may track if you have submitted the survey. If it has that capability, then it can track you.
-
I don’t want a “moral boosting” pizza party. Give me more time off or more pay.
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
And why is the url they send always “website.com/survey-name/[random hash]”? Why are there trackers on this totally anonymous, fo sho, survey link?

Whenever you are having a bad day just remember you had like 1/4 chance of spawning in India
lol ppl do work surveys? Jesus fuck, why?
Wouldn’t be surprised to hear this shit was mandatory.
“It’s not me, it’s you”
That is…what a way to inspire mass exodus in the remaining employees.
Here, be honest. Thank you. You’re fired. This feels very Trump-y.
