CEO who fired 900 people on Zoom just before Christmas wants his job back
Vishal Garg, ousted CEO of Better Home & Finance, claims he was duped by his successor Daniel Lewis, who he says praised the company to gain a board seat and then orchestrated his removal. Garg, known for laying off 900 employees via Zoom in 2021, argues he was on the verge of a turnaround, with sales projected to triple and partnerships with Intuit, Coinbase, and OpenAI. He has secured majority shareholder support and hired high-profile lawyer Alex Spiro to demand reinstatement, offering to work for $1 a year until profitability.
