Vishal Garg Fired: CEO Vishal Garg, who fired 900 people in one fell swoop on Zoom Call 4 years ago, has himself become unemployed. American online mortgage company Better.com (better.com) founder and former CEO Vishal Garg has been shown the way out by his own company. The company's board committee has fired Vishal Garg from his job. Vishal Garg, who once fired 900 people, is now jobless himself.
In fact, during the Corona period in 2021, Vishal Garg, founder and former CEO of American online mortgage company Better.com, fired about 900 employees through Zoom call. After this he was criticized a lot. Now after about five years, he himself has been removed from the post of CEO.
However, Vishal Garg has not accepted this decision of the Board of Directors. They allege that the company's new CEO Daniel Lewis misled them to gain the trust of the board of directors. According to Garg, Lewis had come in contact with him about six months ago regarding some matters to the company. He gave many suggestions to reduce the company's expenses and increase profits. Garg says that he liked Lewis's ideas to reducing expenses, but Garg did not like his thinking regarding new ways of working and new experiments in the company. Garg alleges that Lewis gradually gained the trust of other members of the board of directors and then created a situation to remove him from the post of chief executive officer.
Lawyer's help to get old chair
To get his post back, Vishal Garg is taking the help of lawyer Alex Sapiro. He has sent a letter to the board of directors of the company demanding to be made the Chief Executive Officer again. Garg says that he has worked for the company for about 10 years and he still has faith in the future of the company. However, he has also admitted that while working in the company, his every decision and the way of implementing it was not right. Now this matter is no longer just a dispute over one post. This appears to be a battle for power and leadership between the company's founder and the board of directors. It has also come to light that some investors are in support of Garg.

Later he also apologized for his behaviour. At that time, Garg had cited the poor financial condition of the company and the working capacity of the employees as the reason for the layoff.
