Baldvin, the CEO of a musical instruments company based in the United States, fired 99 of the 110 workers for not showing up to a morning meeting. A screenshot of the message,” join now, bye,” that the employer sent to fire the employee was posted on Reddit and caused an uproar. However, as per the post, they fire even an intern who joined them an hour back. 

Intern Shares Experience, CEO’s Message Goes Viral

The intern who was just hired into the firm told his story how he was fired within one hour of joining the firm. They said they wanted to complain because they felt blindsided, they had no idea about the mandatory meeting. The CEO provided a vulgar message and it was followed by more backlash on the internet.

Critics say that such radical steps may have potentially dire effects: from demotivating the workers to sullying the company’s image. Still, Baldvin himself has not made any public statement that would follow the reaction or explain the actions he made. 

Full Message Sent by CEO Baldvin

Dear Team, This is Baldvin, the CEO. 

For those of you who did not show up to the meeting this morning, consider this your official notice: you’re all fired. You failed to do what you agreed to, you failed to complete your part of the contract, and you failed to show up to the meetings you were supposed to attend and work for. I will cancel all agreements between us. Please return anything you have, sign out of all accounts, and remove yourself from this Slack immediately. I gave you an opportunity to make your life better, to work hard, and to grow. Yet, you have shown me that you don’t take this seriously. Out of 110 people, only 11 were present this morning. Those 11 get to stay. The rest of you are terminated. 

Get the fuck out of my business right now.  

Baldvin
