Noida, December 10: YesMadam faced backlash online for allegedly firing around 100 employees who were most stressed at work after conducting a "Stress Survey". The mental health survey aimed to measure workplace stress; however, it resulted in YesMadam firings, as said by Anushka Dutta, an employee who was affected by the action. She shared details about it online, allowing people to see how the job cuts happened. Amid this, India's leading food delivery app provider, MagicPin, offered opportunities to the people affected by the decision.
The alleged "stress firing" action by YesMadam, an Indian salon and beauty service company, was criticised for being inhumane to the employees, and some called it unjust, leading to controversy in the online community. Anushka Dutta said that an email was sent to the YesMadam employees informing them about the termination for being too stressed at work.
