It seems that it's most likely an out-of-touch marketing stunt. The company, Yes Madam, is apparently launching some sort of corporate wellness program type thing so they are likely going to pivot this publicity into "Treating employees like that would be awful right?! But companies do have stressed employees and should take care of them with...blah".

I hope it fully backfires and they go out of business.

EDIT: It just hit me that they are going to say "We didn't have a single employee who indicated stress on the survey, because we take care of our employees."

@[email protected] you were correct. it’s nice to be vindicated but annoying that the internet will never stop falling for obvious bait like this.

Additionally, the company introduced a 'De-stress Leave Policy', allowing employees to avail up to six paid leaves annually for mental health and rejuvenation

Wow, such generosity! Also, they did write that they are 'family' in the statement 🌚

And "in home massages" where that means the CEO will come over and massage you if you are pretty and they have a fake promotion to dangle over them.

Nope. This is real and the company straight up fired over 100 people.
