<p>Department store Harvey Norman has been slammed on social media for a "revolting" response to a tweet from its official company account.</p>
<p>The company replied to a tweet from a former employee who claimed that working for the company made them "suicidal".</p>
<p>"Working for your god forsaken company drove me to suicide in 6 months," they wrote.</p>
<p>"To the 50 people paid $200k a year to manage one account — go f*** yourselves."</p>
<p>The HarveyNormanAU Twitter account tweeted two emojis, which were a facepalm and a waving hand.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr">Lol <a href="https://twitter.com/HarveyNormanAU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@harveynormanau</a> blocking people for talking about the wage strikes<br /><br />Working for your god forsaken company drove me to suicide in 6 months<br /><br />To the 50 people paid $200k a year to manage to one account - go fuck yourselves. I know you do, that Sydney conference is a fucking mess</p>

<p>Twitter users were furious about the company's response.</p>
<p>“I made the decision to never step into one of their stores last year,” one man said.</p>
<p>“This is the most revolting, irresponsible response to a tweet containing sensitive health information I’ve seen from a corporate entity,” a woman wrote, saying she will never spend another cent there.</p>
<p>“Congrats Harvey Norman, you have lost me, my friends and family as customers,” another man said.</p>
<p>The day prior to the “out of line” response, the same Twitter handle posted: “Twitter is no longer a customer service channel and is unmanned.”</p>
