Popular gaming and esports energy drink company GFUEL<\/a> has received waves of criticism after recently firing seven of its partner and talent managers. The company reportedly notified ex-employees of their dismissal, citing “restructuring.” However, per reports by Jake Lucky, this came mere hours after staff filed complaints with Human Resources (HR) regarding derogatory statements made by a superior executive prompting suspicion of unfair dismissal.<\/p>\n
