Amid the ongoing controversy surrounding layoffs at TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, employees are stepping forward to openly criticise what they describe as a toxic work environment within the China-based firm.
One former employee, for instance, shared on social media that TikTok informed him of his dismissal via an AI-generated email. This individual, who chose to remain anonymous, posted on the professional social media platform Blind, revealing that despite consistently working late to complete tasks, TikTok simply sent a 'ChatGPT email' to inform him of his dismissal.
