"No one was fired": YesMadam clarifies

YesMadam, a platform offering at-home beauty and spa services, has clarified after it was reported that several employees who flagged work stress were laid off by the Noida-based startup.

Dismissing all social media posts producing such claims, the company assured in a three-page-long statement it would never take such an inhuman step. “Our team is like family, and their dedication, hard work, and passion are the foundation of all our successes," the statement read.

They added, We sincerely apologise for any distress caused by recent social media posts suggesting we dismissed employees for being stressed. Let us be clear: We would never take such an inhuman step, No one was fired.

YesMadam explained that the viral email was part of their planned campaign aimed at highlighting “workplace stress" and starting a conversation about it. “And to those who shared angry comments or voiced strong opinions, we say Thank you. When people speak up, it shows they care – and care is at the heart of our business," the statement further read.

“Were YesMadam employees really fired for being stressed? Absolutely not," the company clarified. It further said that the employees were given a break to reset, release their stress, relax and recharge.

They also announced the implementation of a new de-stress policy for their employees. Under this policy, every employee will receive six paid annual leaves dedicated to mental health and rejuvenation. Additionally, employees will enjoy complimentary at-home spa sessions to further support their well-being.
