Stress at work has become a common challenge for many employees today. While it's clear that workplace pressure can be overwhelming, it doesn’t mean employees are unwilling to work or deserve to lose their jobs. In a bizarre move, an Indian startup recently fired employees for admitting to feeling stressed. The news has quickly gone viral on social media.

The company had conducted a survey to gauge employees' stress levels, and shockingly, those who acknowledged feeling stressed were terminated. The termination email, which was shared on social media, read:

“Dear Team,
Recently, we conducted a survey to understand your feelings about stress at work. Many of you shared your concerns, which we deeply value and respect. As a company committed to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment, we have carefully considered the feedback.
To ensure that no one remains stressed at work, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with employees who indicated significant stress. This decision is effective immediately, and impacted employees will receive further details separately. Thank you for your contributions.”

Both employees and social media users were left stunned by this extreme decision. Netizens have widely criticized the company for taking such drastic action based on a survey.
