No staff fired; it was campaign to highlight workplace stress, YesMadam cofounder clarifies

After beauty services platform YesMadam faced backlash on Monday over a purported internal email leaked on social media suggesting the termination of staff who indicated workplace stress, the company co-founder on Friday clarified that no staff was fired and called it a marketing initiative “to shed light on workplace stress and mental health”. YesMadam cofounder Mayank Arya in a note said the intent behind the campaign was to highlight an important issue, but it inadvertently triggered negative reactions.
