Workers protest 'Squid Game' questionnaire

Veneto firm sent a questionnaire to staff around Christmas asking them to pick who they thought should be sacked in a case that has been likened to the dog-eat-dog employee scenario of the hit South Korean TV show Squid Game.

The bosses?

Obviously the one making the survey.

But in any case the only ones you can blame for how a company is doing are the c-suite and shareholders.

You can't blame any regular employee because it is the responsibility of the c-suite to fire the bad employees.

Nevermind that someone was going to come back from Christmas break and not have a job.
