A jacka$$ of a CEO
fired 900 employees
all at once
over Zoom.
Letting employees go over Zoom
isn’t an issue.
Remote workers
are accustomed
to doing almost everything virtually.
The disrespectful act
was firing all of them
at once,
not giving them the courtesy
of a one-on-one meeting,
forcing some of them
to breakdown emotionally
in front of their peers,
completely ravaging their pride.
That was cruel.
That was hateful.
And, in many countries,
that inhumane treatment would result
in company-bankrupting lawsuits.
If you have to let employees go,
inform them of that
in semi-private surroundings.
