I think it's an insane situation. Hopefully the employees who were fired are able to find new jobs quickly.

A disappointing event indeed.

Answer

Firing employees for admitting stress is alarming. Mental health needs support, not punishment.

Answer

That's a low blow, the employer must find a solution to help the employees cope with their stress, but not increase it further!

Feliciana · Answer

Employers should definitely take mental health concerns seriously, but firing employees for being stressed doesn’t seem like the right approach. Instead of terminating people, companies could offer more support, like counseling, flexible work hours.
