The drama:
Some indian company made a “Anonymous survey” asking about a employee’s stress level.
Then they fired all employees who had a certain rating, even though it was “anonymous”.
The news article: https://m.economictimes.com/news/new-updates/startup-asks-employees-if-they-are-stressed-and-then-fires-them-leaked-letter-goes-viral/articleshow/116129662.cms
The linked article says they could not confirm the genuineness of the email. Is there any confirmation that this is real? I did a bit of searching and several Indian sites are reporting on it, but they all seem to be reporting about the outrageous email going viral, not checking the source.
I started collecting all the times it happened but gave up after 3 of them.
The only legitimate reason I can think of is that it’s viral marketing. I think they might be on to something.
Interesting because most of the Reddit front page is viral marketing nowadays.
The rules only cover viral marketing when they’re not already paying off reddit.
That’s a good point
Seems very much not real. :)
They just meant anonymous in the sense that they wouldn’t publish the results on Facebook.
An excellent reminder that “confidential” means “We won’t tell anyone else what you said but can still use it against you.”
Is it just because the company is named?
seems plausible it could be a legal concern about being sued for defamation
I suppose, althought the story is out there, and redacting the company name would be like a bandaid on a dead guy.
so what’s happening here?
r/India is a propaganda sub and you are not allowed to post anything that even remotely criticizes the government or points out social issues because it’s against their subreddit rules. You may only post praise and admiration. You are also allowed, or welcomed rather, to shit on any other country.
Modi has a troll army, you can find them all over the internet. They are a lot like the MAGA cultists.
Have you even seen r/india? It’s the inverse of what you have written. Criticising the govt is the rule there, in fact, there was a whole subreddit called r/indiadiscussion originally dedicated for meta linking of why people got banned from r/india. (r/indiadiscussion isn’t meta only anymore but if one trawls through the old posts, assuming they aren’t deleted, one can see the breadth of bans from r/india)
It’s r/indiaspeaks that was originally formed as a free speech bastion that turned rightwing because the main sub was staunchly on the opposite side of the spectrum(and loved to use the banhammer).
I don’t think I can link usernames here but a notorious powermod of r/india used to moderate r/worldnews as well and banning from once meant ban from the other.
This is simply false. Yes, r/India is a propaganda sub but it’s very much anti-modi and people criticize the government all the time. r/indispeaks is very much pro-modi. I avoid both these subreddits.
