YesMadam Fires 100+ Employees After Stress Survey
YesMadam Under fire After Allegedly Firing 100+ Employees for Reporting Stress
Noida, India – A firestorm of criticism has erupted online targeting YesMadam, a Noida-based home salon services company, after it allegedly fired over 100 employees via email following a company-wide mental health survey.
The controversy stems from an email sent by YesMadam’s HR manager, Ashu Arora jha, which informed employees of the company’s decision to “part ways” with those who indicated experiencing notable stress. The email, shared widely on social media, initially praised employees for their honesty in the survey, stating, “Many of you shared your concerns, which we deeply value and respect.”
Though, the tone quickly shifted, with Jha explaining that to ensure a stress-free work habitat, the company had made the “challenging decision” to terminate the employment of those who reported feeling stressed.
“The decision is effective promptly,” the email read, adding that impacted employees would receive further details separately.
One former YesMadam employee, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed shock and disbelief. “What’s happening at YesMadam? First, you conduct a random survey and then fire us overnight because we’re feeling stressed? And not just me, over 100 other people have been fired too,” they said.
Anushka Dutta, a former UX copywriter at YesMadam, shared a screenshot of the email on LinkedIn, sparking a wave of outrage and condemnation.
Social media users slammed the company’s actions, calling them “pathetic,” “inhumane,” and “toxic.” Many criticized YesMadam for using the survey as a pretext to fire employees, rather than addressing the root causes of workplace stress.
“Firing employees for reporting stress in a workplace survey isn’t just counterproductive—it’s the epitome of irony,” wrote one commenter. “Rather of addressing the root causes of stress, this approach sends a loud and clear message: ‘Your well-being isn’t our concern.’”
The incident has raised serious questions about YesMadam’s workplace culture and it’s commitment to employee well-being. As the backlash continues to grow, it remains to be seen how the company will respond to the mounting criticism.
