More Than 100 Employees Let Go
Home salon service provider YesMadam has gone viral on social media these days. The Noida-based company made headlines when it dismissed over 100 employees.

What Exactly Happened?
An email from YesMadam's Human Resource Management is rapidly spreading on social media. According to this email, the Delhi-NCR based company conducted a survey to gauge employees' stress levels.

The HR email stated, 'Dear Team, recently, we conducted a survey to understand your feelings about workplace stress, during which many of you shared your concerns, which we value and respect greatly.' It further stated that, as a company committed to promoting a healthy and supportive work culture, we have carefully considered the feedback. To ensure no employee remains stressed, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with those who reported experiencing severe stress.

One of the affected employees shared a post, asking, 'What's happening at YesMadam? First, a survey is conducted, and then we are fired overnight because we feel stressed? It's not just me, but 100 other people who lost their jobs.' However, as of now, the authenticity of this viral email screenshot has not been confirmed by any official sources. Another user has labeled it the strangest layoff ever.
Kshitij Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo, also shared the screenshot in a LinkedIn post, questioning, 'Can any organization fire you because of stress?' It seems this just happened at a startup - YesMadam.
