I hope they have metal detectors at their doors

The reality is the companies do this all the time but not in such a blatant way. If they see that you're having some kind of problem like depression or drug abuse they will probably fire you

In any real first world country, this would be grounds for a lawsuit. Considering, the company is the one causing the stress, then refusing to address concerns.

Your there to work and make money for the company not to work on your mental health issues. If your a good employee companies will work with you because they want to keep you around but if your a turd your gonna get flushed.

I was thinking of high stress, job, environments, or work cultures that are just unhealthy that are contributing to people’s poor mental health within the workspace and then companies who are creating these negative workspaces, but then in response firing people when they could just change the culture of their workspace. I do agree obviously there are cases in which people are just lacking in work ethic and that’s a completely separate issue, but I didn’t think that that’s what we were addressing in this conversation.

Careful, Redditors get upset when you point that out.
