Not Enough Bullets

Well, now we know what he looks like
2nd mortgage website better.com's CEO just laid off 900 employees via a zoom call, and complained that, "The last time I did it, I cried."

It turns out that someone put out the Zoom video on social media, and people have noted that his entire career has been a miasma of dubious accounting and (at best) barely legal self dealing.

Why am I not surprised that they got much of their VC funding from Softbank?  Softbank's choices seem to over-represent companies that:

  • Treat their employees like sh$%.
  • Have highly dubious business practices.

For all the complaints people have about "Cancel Culture", I'd love to see his ass canceled all the way into 5 to 10 years in club fed:

Managing a business during the plague years has been tough for many, but one plucky CEO has found a clever and efficient way to execute such an unpleasant task: fire 900 workers at once in a Zoom meeting.

In an exercise completely devoid of sensitivity, Better.com CEO Vish Garg gathered around 900 of his staff onto a five-minute Zoom call during the month of Christmas to tell them their jobs were officially nonexistent.

"If you are on this call, you are part of the unlucky group being laid off. Your employment here is terminated, effective immediately," the CEO said.

His empathy-averse approach next saw Garg tell the newly unemployed that this was not the first time he had conducted such layoffs, and that it's not an easy job.

"The last time I did it, I cried," lamented The CEO Who Stole Christmas, as seen in the video below that swiftly leaked.

………

But Garg wasn't done. According to Twitter reports, he then went into another meeting with the survivors, where he complained that the terminated employees were dragging the company down.

Pro-business outlet Fortune magazine reported Garg still had enough steam that week to write anonymous blog posts in which he publicly accused the former employees of "stealing" from their colleagues and customers by being unproductive.

Seriously, does anyone do due diligence any more?

This guy has so many red flags that he looks like the banner of the USSR
