The post quickly went viral with many users saying that the company might be planning a mass firing in the future.
One user commented, "It seems to me like they plan to let many people go soon if they need to automate the process. I wouldn't feel too secure, OP."
Another user commented, "Okay, but why were they testing the ability to fire everyone?"
"But it sounds like they need a tool to do mass firing soon, hence the tests," commented one user.
