“For those of you who did not show up to the meeting this morning, consider this your official notice: you're all fired,” wrote the CEO to his employees in a Slack message. “You failed to do what you agreed to, you failed to complete your part of the contract, and you failed to show up to the meetings you were supposed to attend and work for.”

He further said that he gave them an opportunity to make their lives better, work, and grow but they did not take it seriously.&nbsp;

“Out of 110 people, only 11 were present this morning. Those 11 get to stay. The rest of you are terminated,” Baldvin wrote. He ended his lengthy text by asking those employees to “get the f*** out of my business right now.”

The Reddit users expressed their disbelief over the incident as they criticised the CEO. While some wondered if there was more to the story.

“I assume the CEO failed to inform the team about that meeting. I can not believe that 99 people will fail to attend a meeting if they got informed,” a Reddit user commented on the viral post.

“What kind of meeting was this that most employees missed anyway? Did he send a last minute invite or something? Otherwise I find it hard to believe 99 people just didn't show up,” another user said.

CEO fires 99 employees over Slack for not attending meeting

The visitors were left stunned and angry when they found that the much-hyped giant whale shark was actually a robot in an aquarium in China.&nbsp;

This "deep-fake" incident happened at the Xiaomeisha Sea World in Shenzhen which had opened to the public on October 1 after undergoing a five-year renovation, reported Jam Press.

The aquarium had a week-long dry run and around 100,000 visitors came to the 645,000-square-foot ocean zoo. The visitors had to pay $40 to enter the wet wonderland.

Visitors were looking forward to the star attraction of the theme park which was the whale shark – the largest fish in the world – believed to grow to 60 feet in length.

<h2>Visitors feel cheated, aquarium authorities claim 'were adhering to laws'</h2>

After the visitors realised that the regal sea beast was actually a robot, they felt cheated.&nbsp;

As the outrage widened, Xiaomeisha also had to face criticism online.

“The venue isn’t large enough, and even the whale shark is artificial. By 3 o’clock, people were already demanding refunds," said a user.

“The most disappointing part was the whale shark exhibit,” wrote another user on the social media platform&nbsp;Xiaohongshu.&nbsp;

“When I heard the name, I was full of anticipation, but when I arrived, I saw a mechanical whale shark. It’s not interesting at all," commented a third user.

Addressing the criticism, the representatives of Xiaomeisha said that the robo-shark — which had cost millions of Chinese yuan — was created to adhere to laws which ban the trade of whale sharks and was not aimed at “catfish” visitors.&nbsp;

“Even though it’s for the sake of animal protection, I’d rather they didn’t have one at all than show a fake one,” said a user.

“The fish care was not professional enough. I noticed that some of the fish in the tanks had white spots,” wrote another user.

“Most people wouldn’t notice, but anyone who’s kept tropical fish knows that’s white spot disease. Some of the fish didn’t appear to be in good health," a third user stated.

Not a whale shark but a robot shark leaves visitors fuming in China's aquarium

An innovative way has been adopted by Tesco to stop supermarket thefts and catch thieves.&nbsp;

'Ominous' security robots, which are Dalek-like machines, now stand outside the stores to catch hold of the thieves with the help of 360-degree cameras.&nbsp;

The bots are placed near the entrance of Tesco stores and using an "angry Northern Irish accent", they shout at any intruders they detect while sending alerts to the authorities.&nbsp;

Even though this robot is proving efficient, it is not very cheap and one needs to pay £100,000 ($1,33,757) per month to hire it.

Speaking about it, Tesco said that they have been using security robots outside the stores at night when they are closed.

"This photo shows a security device which is used in some stores outside of opening hours, when needed, such as to prevent burglary or following damage to our property," said a Tesco spokesman.

"The unit should not have been on the shop floor during opening hours," he added.

<h2>How does this angry robot work?</h2>

The device has yellow and blue chequered markings, similar to the UK Police, and is a PID360 security robot which has been created by Shropshire-based firm Deter Tech.

As per reports, the PID360 has been used around "at-risk" locations in Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle.&nbsp;

When an intruder is detected by the robot, a 114-decibel 'Star Wars-style' warning siren goes out along with flashing lights.&nbsp;

In Northern Irish voice, it then says, "Warning, this is security, your presence has been detected, the owner and police have been informed."

In less than a minute, a message, including an image of the intruder, is then sent to a central control room, manned by ex-police and military staff who will decide whether to call on-site security, the police, or a mobile response team."&nbsp;

As per&nbsp;Deter Tech, the robot is able to deter more than "80 per cent of intrusions" and&nbsp;it can be stationed in remote locations without any power.&nbsp;

"With its striking design, audio alerts, and LED illuminators, the PID360 serves as a powerful deterrent against intruders on your site," stated Deter Tech.&nbsp;

"It captures every activation with precision, and our dedicated team promptly reviews the footage and escalates any unauthorised presence detected," it added.

Meanwhile, Tesco staff has been mocking the device, with some even calling it "rather ominous", as reported by the Daily Star.&nbsp;

"My favourite thing about these is that they have northern Irish accents. I never thought of our accent to be unsettling but I guess they can be to some people lol," an employee was quoted as saying.&nbsp;

"I'm from NI and never seen one of these things, but I'm not surprised they'd get a guy from here to do the voice, supposed to be one of the most aggressive accents in the English-speaking world," said another.
