YesMadam Fires Staff After Repsonses to Stress Survey

YesMadam, a startup that became famous in India after being featured on the country’s edition of Shark Tank (like Dragon’s Den), has gone viral today after a leaked screenshot, reportedly of a company email. The supposed leaked email outlines that employees experiencing “significant stress”, would be leaving the company.

What is YesMadam?

Yes Madam is an Indian company that provides at-home salon and personal care services, including waxing, facials, manicures, pedicures, and spa treatments, delivered by trained professionals. Founded in 2016 by brothers Aditya and Mayank Arya, along with Akanksha Vishnoi, the company aims to offer convenient and affordable beauty services directly to customers’ homes.

The company featured on Shark Tank India earlier this year, expanding services across multiple cities in India, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru.

YesMadam’s Stress Survey Employee burnout is a significant concern in India, with up to 59% of the nation’s work force experiencing it. It wouldn’t have been a massive surprise to see a company take an interest in how staff are doing with a survey. This is what YesMadam did, according to the supposed leaked email, from the company’s Human Resources Manager, surfacing on the internet today.

Shared by an Associate Director at IndiGo, Shitiz Dogra, the leaked screenshot states, “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”.

From here the email takes a most unusual twist.

The message continues to say “to ensure that no one remains stressed at work, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with employees who indicated significant stress” and that YesMadam is “committed to fostering a healthy and supportive work environment”.

The affected staff would then be contacted directly but action would be taken immediately.

Goosed.ie has reached out to YesMadam to verify the email is real and whether this is an operational error, and if not, what is the rational behind the move.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Don’t like your job, leave. If a company is so bad, nobody will work for them and they’ll go bankrupt. Simple.

I think it would be difficult working with women in thier homes who want their hair to make them look 10 years younger. A two month trial employment period might be better than years of counseling...

Never give an honest answer to a work survey if that honest answer might be even slightly negative. Lie and look for a different job.

Managers SO clueless of their peoples stress level and ubiquity tells me management ought be summarily executed, not the stressed hardworking.

Another HR department ivy league solution. Bankruptcy sale 10 cents on the dollar all the grooming lotions you can carry.
