On-Demand Service Startup Faces Backlash Over Alleged Termination of Stressed Employees
Internal Stress Survey Sparks Controversy
An on-demand service startup headquartered in Delhi NCR has come under heavy criticism following allegations of terminating employees who admitted to experiencing high stress during an internal survey. A screenshot of an email from the company’s HR manager has gone viral, fueling public outrage and raising questions about the organization’s approach to employee well-being.
Allegations of Misusing Stress Survey Results
The controversy stems from the company’s decision to conduct a stress survey aimed at understanding employee experiences. However, instead of using the results to implement measures to reduce workplace pressure, the firm allegedly terminated those who reported high stress levels.
The email in question reportedly conveyed this decision in an unfiltered tone, which further incensed critics. Many have accused the company of exploiting the survey as a justification for dismissals rather than addressing the root causes of employee stress.
Social Media Backlash
The news has sparked widespread condemnation on social media platforms, with users calling out the company for prioritizing dismissals over supporting its workforce. Critics argue that the move reflects a disregard for employee well-being, an issue that has gained significant importance in the corporate world in recent years.
Call for Accountability
As the company faces growing scrutiny, industry observers have highlighted the importance of fostering a supportive work environment. The incident underscores the broader need for organizations to adopt transparent and compassionate strategies for addressing workplace challenges, particularly those related to mental health and stress.
The startup has yet to issue an official response to the allegations, leaving the public and stakeholders awaiting further clarity on the matter.
