    This is life tho. It's also a reason why you shouldn't be too 'loyal' to a job. You do your bit. Do what's asked of you or less if you can get away with it. A job is just a job. A business can be quick enough to send you down the road if times are bad.

    This CEO doesn't care. He's not the one being fired. Hey, he'd fire 9000 if he had to am sure.

    The whole organisation is at the murky end of financial products anyway, sub-prime grime and unsuitable lendees.

    While the CEO is a massively incapable douchebag, the best thing for society would be the end of the company.

    he made a mess of it. Not the first manager to do so, won’t be the last. It’s a sign of a poor manager really. He dragged it out, put the actual message way into the spiel rather than starting with it and crucially he made it all about him and how awful this is for me.

    Hes firing folk before Xmas his feelings mean nothing to them.

    Worked for one of the big Australian banks in Sydney on a project in the wealth management division.

    Out of a team of 20 we were all called into a meeting and about 5 people were left behind. When we came out the 5 people were gone. Security had came up, told them to pack their things, leave their laptops and escorted them off the building. Productivity was the reason.

    Remember thinking at the time with an air of disdain towards the approach. Not a good way to treat people with bills to pay.

    The zoom call seems better tbh.

    Update : he may even get a slap on the wrist

    the board of directors emailed the employees on Friday: “Good morning. Vishal and the Board wanted to provide Better employees an update given the very regrettable events over the last week.""Vishal will be taking time off effective immediately,” ... “The Board has engaged an independent 3rd party firm to do a leadership and cultural assessment.

    ...

    Plans to merge with Aurora Acquisition Corp via a $7.7bn special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deal were also put on hold, according to Axios, whilst the company tries to clean up the mess leftover from the PR disaster.
