The CEO of a US-based company has faced severe criticism for sacking 99 out of the total 110 employees for failing to attend a morning meeting.
One of the interns of the company shared a letter from the CEO as the sacking announcement was made via a Slack message, according to a Reddit post.
The user claimed that he had joined a company selling musical instruments, only to get fired one hour later. The message starts with the CEO introducing himself as Baldvin before going on a lengthy tirade, berating the workers for failing to attend the meeting. He also reprimanded the workers for not making the most of the “opportunity” he had given them.
“For those of you who did not show up to the meeting this morning, consider this your official notice: you’re all fired. You failed to do what you agreed to, you failed to complete your part of the contract, and you failed to show up to the meetings you were supposed to attend and work for,” read the message.
“Sign out of all accounts, and remove yourself from this Slack immediately.”
“I gave you an opportunity to make your life better, to work hard, and to grow. Yet, you have shown me that you don’t take this seriously. Out of 110 people, only 11 were present this morning. Those 11 get to stay. The rest of you are terminated. Get the f*** out of my business right now,” the CEO has reportedly said.
The post has gone viral with netizens reacting angrily towards such irrational action.
“Seems like you dodged a bullet there. I doubt the work environment will improve,” said a user, while another added- “Wow you dodged a bullet. Plan a meeting for 110 people, only 11 shows up… and he doesn’t even consider that MAYBE there was a misunderstanding and people just didn’t get the invite another.”
