don't want employees to leave my company

step 1: pretend to be recruiter for other company and message own employees

Step 2: force any employee expressing intent to leave company to leave company

Step 3: ???? Step 4: profit

Guarantees their employee works somewhere else.

I am going to need a translation, my sprinkle sized brain cannot comprehend this lunacy.

Cabin? Founder? Fired before even being hired? wtf is going on?

edit: decided to look it up on LinkedIn. My understanding is that he's roleplaying external HR reaching out to his own employee, and upon finding out that they aren't loyal, he reveals he's actually the founder/owner and fired them. "Step into my cabin" must be some Hindi saying, perhaps?

Anyway, still a lunatic.

Well, the fired employee dodged a bullet, and the rest of the world now knows what kind of person this douchebag "founder" is.

"Founder", "Brand-builder"

what a tool

He could've used that instead to gauge whether his workforce is happy, and then try to change things if it turns out they want to leave. It wouldn't be the right way to do it, but at least it would show some leadership. Instead, he's just a complete douchebag that has no empathy for his workers, and expects undying loyalty.

Gibberish. What is this loon trying to say here?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That they either engage or condone the practice of impersonating external HR representitives to check if their own employees are looking at jobs and firing the ones that do.

The "Desperately" adverb tells you everything you need to know about this asshole.
