The video that has the corporate world aghast | How USA based Better.com CEO Fired 900 colleagues 

And you think it's funny ? It's easier to live with the fact that you've been fired than waking up every day knowing that you've caused 900 people to lose their jobs. There's no right way to fire 900 persons, but at least he fired the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion recruiting team, and he did it personally.

@@alainportant6412 Yeah, So very difficult to Fire people! Actually you are right, its more difficult to fire people than actually getting fired! He must have "cried" and lost his sleep for lifetime! By firing people, his holidays would have completely spoiled thinking about the families of employees who were fired! He would have went into such tremendous stress thinking these fired employees would look for another job, as they have a family to feed! I actually dont have any issues with any of the above. I have a problem with what he said was in such cold tone that it hardly felt like he was upset and would cry. Thats my opinion and i have a right to it. Thanks.

@@alainportant6412 goddamn you sound like a horrible guy

@@Corninthesky Yeah! He maybe having the same traits.

He's not professional. Look at his body language and how he speaks. He's slouching and not carrying himself properly. sounds more like he's talking down to his workers.

Lol 😂

Selfish n biased n opportunistic family.

Standard ceo speech bs

I didn't know families put their loved ones to sleep.

It made me giggle.

@@jesses5463 chill

He got a $25 million cash bonus just before he fired these people and took a paid vacation right after

@@jeffhreid And then he laid off more people again

They don’t care. That’s the reality.

I got fired a couple years ago in a similar way. My father had a stroke and they weren't sure if he would survive at the time so naturally I took a few days off and stayed at the hospital. Every day the owner was bugging me about when I would be back. My dad started to improve on the 3rd of 4th day so I returned to work. He showed up a few hours before the end of my shift on the 4th or 5th night after I returned to work and had me finish out my shift and then fired me when I closed the store. Fuck people like that.

Um, that's typically how layoffs work.

As in you’d better find a new job

@@jrstrey well said.

FUCK BETTER

True but turtles are just food, save them… for Me! 😋

Could not agree more

Those are usually made by foreign people or bots to get views from trending topics.

yeah maybe if they'd not cut off the video at the end i might agree with you.

Yeah I was expecting some stupid music but kudos for the raw video.

damn, blondes catching strays

Because u guys have always focused somewhere else

@@na4369 what does that even mean?

@@zaidshaikh1855 It means nothing, they are just trolls just ignore.

@@khalidalvi5436 I know he is troll and also becoz he votes bjp

Dude, don't worry. Deal with it if it happens. Worrying won't help you at all.

😂😂😂

Laying off 15% of your workforce is something that happens, yes. But you would have individual managers meet with their teams and fire people individually, like every other company. Firing 900 people over a zoom call is a laughably terrible approach. It's really just about how they approached the layoff that is so newsworthy.

@@jackfarrell7970 How the fuck would you approach it ? There was people from all around India and the US. You can't fly everyone at some location and just tell them that they're done.

@@alainportant6412 Each person would have a meeting on Zoom 1 on 1 with their manager. The same way every remote company in the country approaches it. NOT a one way call with 900 people, idk.

You didn't need /s

@@Ypog_UA i'll type however the fuck i want, good sir

@@xioxialt Sorry for bad English. I meant that your sarcasm is obvious and that you don't need an indicator to point it out, at it detracts from the delivery of your comment. I apologise and hope no offense was taken.

@@Ypog_UA you don't need to apologize, i wasn't offended hahah. but, i like using tone indicators excessively sometimes as different people have different ways of interpreting text written on a screen. i've gotten misunderstood many times, but never while using indicators. so, even if it seems unnecessary, i'd rather put it up there than be sorry.

@Right-wing SJW LMAO i don't have reddit. you should call me a twitter stan instead or something

When an employee resigns fairly they want that person to give a notice one month prior, and still they hold the salary for 2 months after resigning.. But when a employer fires , they do it without any notice , why is this injustice? Why isnt the government coming up with laws to arrest or atleast fine those companies heavily who does immediate firing without a period notice..Such corporate bosses must be jailed with longer jailtimes and be fined heavily, coz ur not firing only a employee, ur messing the structure of a family, ur disabling the family of paying the bills, promises made to their kids, rents, bills, future trips, EMI's etc.. Its nothing but violation of human rights.. this is a human rights issue..

@Lucatic Fringe Hopefully that happens to you. Will not be missed...

We can only hope

​@@anandhemantbecause corporations now control government.

I don’t have w2 jobs anymore but it was the same with me- company I worked for 3 years and came through for on many occasions- a man who was new and really not doing well in the position sexually harassed me so bad and made me feel in complete danger (grabbed me by the neck from behind and pulled me backwards to whisper in my ear- which I immediately asserted myself but he tried to kiss me so I had to run away) then told my boss- he didn’t even fire me he just never gave me another shift after that.

@@ThingsILikke jesus that fcked up. u ok now?

not if the board of directors/investors for whatever reason decided to keep Him employed.

It happened to me after waking up but over a phone call. I’m still in shock about it.

@@travelingdude1621 happened to me in August of 2022 smh screw these mortgage companies

U can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink. Good on the CEO

It was only 4 weeks legal mandatory severance and 2 month of health coverage if you watched the video 2:01

The 900 people were in the diversity department and getting overpaid not much he could do besides fire them.

I thought he said only 4 weeks severance...

@@face2much Being a CEO in America must be the easiest job in an entire company.

Did you even know that each one of those employees was clocking in at 8 hours of productivity BUT ONLY PRODUCING 2-3 HOURS of productivity. That is a HUGE problem. Any employee in America would be fired for the same. Just so happens, at this company, 15% or 900, of the employees were doing the same. One employee probably figured out that they could clock-in for the full 8 hours but only antisocial work 2 and told his friends at the company who then told thier friends at the company. Next thing you know, 15% of the company is not working but only 2 hours a day.

@@hendidco but if people were underperforming then usually management provides employees with some sort of formal coaching or email to pick things up. They don’t just fire you. If they were producing 8 hours of work in 3 hours then I don’t see the problem. What do you value? The work done or the time it took. This just seems like big chief fucking up and the rest pay for it. Not uncommon..

@@TNTSID You're confused, that's the problem with society today. THEY WERE GETTING PAID FOR 8 HOURS OF PRODUCTIVITY BUT IN REALITY ONLY PRODUCING 2-3 HOURS OF PRODUCTIVITY. THAT IS A PROBLEM! And, why do you assume the company just fired them? How do you know HR didn't send out an initial email letting the employees of the issue?

@@TNTSID How did you conclude that they were producing 8 hours of productivity in 3 hours from what I said? To the contrary, actually. What I said what quite clear, I do not see how you could have got that backwards UNLESS, you ARE LOOKING FOR excuses as to why the CEO is a bad guy. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure to get your facts straight before speaking on something! That is the problem with society today, always getting the facts wrong!

@@hendidco "Among those fired were the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion recruiting team." So there you have it. He fired bullshit artists who did fake bullshit jobs, and he kept the ones that actually generated value.

its called laid off. HUGE difference.

I don’t believe they’re low paying

I don't think it's funny

Chill

@M especially with this supposedly going on around a Christmas season we THOUGHT we could celebrate with family/friends again. Now these people have to spend what's supposed to be the most positive, selfless, & joyous season looking for employment & trying to buy meals... Meanwhile he looks like he probably ordered some pretentious overpriced meal at his fave vacation spot with no care except whether he should leave a $3 or $5 tip for anyone who serviced him in some form or fashion. He's not treating his employees with dignity so im sure he's that same jarhead egotistical, self-centered, narcissist who complains because there's an extra ice cube in his water so he takes it out of the measly $10 tip he probably anguishes over giving... 🤬 Scrooge & the grinch with a hint of orange/brown on his nose left over after wading in the exact BS Bezos, Elon, Trump, or any of the 5% that paid absolutely no where near what they should've paid for taxes. 😤😖😡🤬👹 This is effing sad!!!

I don't find it funny

Government jobs pay absolute peanuts, it does not support many lifestyles other than living to survive. Takes decades to promote to a high paying position you can receive elsewhere in corporate. But it is more secure, so of course there are trade offs

They are given a severance

@@julese5115 lol

@@julese5115 not if fired for a lot of employees. Firing also looks way worse on the resume. If fired you lose your pension plan, retire you don’t

WTF are you talking about? You only have to give 2 weeks notice when quitting while this dude gave these assholes 1 month of pay for doing nothing.

@@jesses5463 this guys is doing it out of good faith, not off an obligation 😅

What’s unprofessional about this? The measured tone or the three months of benefits?

@@BP-or2iu How about making statements by email about stealing from the company and clients?

@@BP-or2iu Method, and when he said that last time he did cry but this time he will try to be stronger.. this statement itself shows that he does have an habit of firing group of employees,

@@mazahirsyed Sometimes have to lay off 10-15% of a company. That’s what happens when you run a Business. I don’t know if this guy sucks or if he’s great. But this video doesn’t make him look bad.

Sadly this is the truth.

Agreed, there are some insensitive ones, do doubt. Not taking it as a racist either. You have shared ur experiences.. its ok. But, there are many people in Indian Higher Managements that are the epitomes of their field and have maintained a balance with soft but firm and 'staff over stuff' attitude...which ultimately works wonders for their organisations. So, I apologise on their behalf for the messy scenarios but, stay hopeful...I pray some day soon, u meet with sum1 with such a good heart who values people as their own children and help them grow as an individual instead of using them just for profits.

Board of directors and investors take these decisions not a single person . He is one among many and just a messenger. I think you are not aware of work culture of big corporations Biggest layoffs in history are like 60000 ,50000 all announced by white American CFO

@@मगरमच्छ You completely missed my message, I deal with various people and companies, large and small. The fact is that Indian culture is very difficult at times. What about the dentist that gave his entire staff layoff notices just before Christmas? He owns the dentist office, he makes all decisions by himself. He did this because Canaian law says you have to give people so many months notice or you have to pay out larger amount in severance package, so now he renews their notice every few months so that he can let anyone go at moments notice because technically they were given notice months ago. So these people now live non stop with fear of being let go empty added after years of service. These people are scam artists, just look at all call centers that originate from India and call all over the world scamming people out of their money, especially elderly and vulnerable people. This is not a compassionate or carrying culture, rather one where people consider it success when they successfully scam others. Yes board of directors make decisions in all corporations, including this bank. But they likely didn't tell him how to conduct his video message, and the way he did it just shows he couldn't care less, but that's to be expected if you deal with this culture. Cheers.

@@googlreviews7813 you can't blame it on culture. We have laws against mass layoffs in India . But US avoid these type of laws . US is historically a capitalist country and society now capitalism some times backfire

No it can’t, lil bro. One smart man can do more work than the most sophisticated AI

God is nothing. I think the Tooth Fairy will be the one to teach him a lesson.

Stop spamming your video everywhere

@@epokhemusic9495 Who the hell are you? My boss? Don’t you worry about what I’m doing.

No person in leadership likes doing this. There i never a 'good way' to do this. There is only a bad, more bad, and worst. When I first saw this my reaction was "what a jerk" and some outrage. Then a saw the follow-up to this where corporate documentation. To quote Elon Musk (twitter tweat) after he announced the requirement to come back to the office "You can come into the office or go pretend you work somewhere else."

Bhai unki job chali gai, tumhe confidentiality Ki padi hai.

He fired them. So who cares about breach of confidentiality.
