US Startup OCDA
Gains Attention for Providing Supervisor Reprimand Service
Service Fee Not Disclosed
A company has emerged in the United States that anonymously conveys what employees want to say to their bosses.
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 19th (local time), 'OCDA,' a U.S. startup founded this year by comedian and actor Kalima White, offers a service that scolds bosses on behalf of employees. OCDA aims to "address complaints and create a better working environment," and the company stated, "Our mission is to correct employees' grievances and foster a culture of respect and communication in the workplace."
In particular, the service gained attention recently after an influencer with 800,000 followers on TikTok posted a video focusing on it.
The service involves a professional scolder visiting the workplace to meet with the boss or colleagues and bluntly convey the client's complaints. No matter how tense the situation becomes, the scolder must strictly follow a predetermined script. In areas where face-to-face service is not possible, the service is conducted by phone. After the service concludes, a video showing the situation during the service is uploaded to the company's official YouTube channel. The service fee has not been disclosed.
A recently released video shows a scolder confronting a boss, saying, "I've worked here for over 17 years, but there is no paid leave, and new employees earn more than veterans. Inventory management is a mess." During the complaint, the boss asked the scolder to leave, but the scolder read the script to the end.
The company is currently actively recruiting scolders through social media. The qualifications are unusual. The requirements include "must be a parent who frequently swears at their children," "must come from a single-parent household," "must use an iPhone," "must not be unattractive," and "smoking or drinking is mandatory."
As the service became known, local netizens showed various reactions. Comments included "a genius idea" and "won't they become millionaires soon?"
