Try to read the post to avoid sounding silly.

The company just received a cash injection of 750 million.



Do you expect them to use the new cash to pay workers?

The CEO of an online mortgage lender fired 900 of his employees in a brutal Zoom call - then slammed them over being so lazy they effectively 'stole' from customers.

Vishal Garg axed around nine per cent of New York mortgage firm Better.com's workforce last Wednesday, including its entire diversity, equity and inclusion team, which deals with complaints about racism and sexism in the workplace.

The blunt call saw Garg say: 'This isn't news that you're going to want to hear...If you're on this call, you are part of the unlucky group that is being laid off. Your employment here is terminated effective immediately.'

That's part of things you can expect when you work for someone else... Jobs are not permanent, one is basically just selling his/her time to help someone else succeed at his own business... I'd rather start mine and channel all my energy into it...

Shut up, you are the silly one here.

That they raked in 750 million last week is nothing special to a business that has thousands of employees, do you think they started planning to sack 900 people a week ago

Some of you are just too dumb and emotional at the same time.

I clearly never said so. But that cash injection is clearly sufficient to fix any structural leakages that would have attributed to covid. The market has recovered across the global economy, so there is no further argument as to the company suffering from Covid.

But moreover, no one is pumping 750 million venture capital into a company that is in distress. Thus it is completely bewildering to cite covid-related distress as a causal factor for sacking 9% of one's workforce.

This idea is made even less plausible by the fact that the company's valuation has just shot up. Read the full article and stop speculating.


And if that is not enough for you, the CEO has already hinted over and over again that the fred staff were fired due to laziness.

It's all in the article.

The reason for laying off workers is due to some market conditions and to continue the company to be a going concern,

You literally did not know what the company is facing, and the company is in the banking industry and i believe people are making enough transactions.

And you said capital can't be rendered to a distressed company, i will tell you that you are absolutely wrong on that, cause when a company continuity is being threatened, they can either liquidate or try to raise some forms of capital in order to continue as a profitability company, since it's in the company interest to reduce the workforce, thou it's an harsh development but it's as well for the betterment of the company and can be temporary pending the time the company will get back on it's and start employing new employees.

Of course a company can raise funds when it is distressed, but I was specific. I said venture capital whcih is essentially what they have done - now for venture capitalists to give you that much money, your company must either be in great health, or will be in the near future. In either of those cases, firing staff becomes unnecessary.

And are the only ones in finance? Who else has fired 900 staff that you know off?

All this speculation is unnecessary. It is clearly written why he fired them and it was entirely due to their performance:

Garg later reiterated his stance on a blogpost on Blind, saying he was cutting some staff for "stealing" through laziness.

"You guys know that at least 250 of the people terminated were working an average of 2 hours a day while clocking 8 hours+ a day in the payroll system?

"They were stealing from you and stealing from our customers who pay the bills that pay our bills. Get educated," he add

Indians......

Only experience can tell you who they really are. After Workig with Indians, I started having bouts of anxiety on hearing those Bollywood songs......took me a long time to recover.

Eventually the Indian "Boss" got fired and I got recalled to replace him. That helped me recover from the trauma.


I've actually had good experiences working with them.

They're very brutal and they taught me a lot.

No emotions whatsoever.

They play hard too, very hard too.
