Reddit keeps taking down this post after it hit 50k upvotes. Other subreddits, like linkedinLunatics keep reposting.

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

      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.

              Makes the company appear deranged.

              Who are they appealing to

                      You are indeed correct.

                      If only there was a man with a particular adjustment skills…

                          They caught him :(. It’s objectively hilarious that his name is Luigi though.

                              Nah, Luigi is innocent. Luigi was having a pint at drag’s house at the time of the assassination.

                          I think name recognition is good no matter what in their eyes. Many companies don’t care about bad PR.

                          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.

                              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 got permabanned on there for saying child abusers should get beaten the same way they beat kids. The reason given for the ban was “promotes violence”, I appealed the ban and their response was “we don’t want people promoting child abuse, do not contact us anymore”. I don’t know if some admin was having a bad day or just illiterate but there are some power tripping mods and admins on there that will ban and remove for literally no good reason. The fact that they accused me of promoting child abuse when I was saying the complete opposite was pure trolling.

                                            Mods are like Catholic clergy… It attracts certain types…

                                            I am always amazed at how Trump voter gets less sympathy than pedophiles on neo lib modded socials. That’s the only calls to violence they will accept but god forbid we get a wood chipper going for a known pedo

                                                    Maybe they think a child abuser who has just received a beating is more likely, not less likely, to go on and abuse children.

                                                    Think about it: do you really think a man who beats his children is gonna be a better dad after he gets beaten up?

                                                    Violence is a complex subject, and people’s instinct to solve problems with beating up people they’re frustrated with is a curse of humanity, no matter how obvious a solution it may seem in the moment.

                                                    Some people, lots of people actually, and with good reason, think that violence begets violence.

                                                    Maybe it’s taken down on the basis it’s a private email including multiple identifiable names and doxs those involved.

                                                    Even the to field is visible with multiple identifiable.

                                                      Neither the email nor your article indicates that the survey was anonymous.

                                                          Why is this downvoted? If it’s true it’s a valid criticism, and if it’s false, I couldn’t find a mention of anonymity either.

                                                              because it’s not valid criticism. no one is complaining about the context of the survey it’s about Reddit suppressing a story on the whims of corporate moderators.

                                                                                            • kirk781@discuss.tchncs.de

                                                                                              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.

                                                                                              The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

                                                                                              Rules


                                                                                              Rule 1- No brigading.

                                                                                              **You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

                                                                                              YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



                                                                                              Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

                                                                                              **No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



                                                                                              Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

                                                                                              Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



                                                                                              Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

                                                                                              That’s it.



                                                                                              Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

                                                                                              Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



                                                                                              Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

                                                                                              Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



                                                                                              Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

                                                                                              If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

                                                                                              Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



                                                                                              Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

                                                                                              Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

                                                                                              Let everyone have their own content.



                                                                                              Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
