id believe it if there was a single outlet doing original reporting :/ all of them are just reading verbatim the same screenshots we have here. some of them bother to put the word “allegedly” in.

Your assertion has even less basis though.. It's been a day, if it weren't true surely they would have issued a refutation..

If you'd put "probably" in your statement you'd be on more solid ground.

The company faced significant backlash after allegedly terminating employees under stress and later clarified that the move was part of an awareness initiative.

lmao yeah right. Get fucked. "Ohh we tots didn't mean it besties"

And you really believe that?

"Let's pretend we fire all employees that are stressed out over or horror practices, will be a great commercial!"

What that link says is that they fucked around and found out and are now making up bullshit excuses to contain the find.

I don’t believe anything, is my point. Everything about this reads to me as made up attention seeking. So sure, you wouldn’t be wrong to guess maybe the latest news is false too.
