    CEO fires 900 on Zoom call (mortgage company Better.com)

    cnn.com/2021/12/05/business/better-ceo-fires-employees/index.html

    Garg cited market efficiency, performance and productivity as the reason behind the firings. Fortune later reported Garg accused the employees of “stealing” from their colleagues and customers by being unproductive and only working two hours a day.

    Among those fired were the diversity, equity and inclusion recruiting team.

    The company just received $750 million as part of an IPO play. Presumably the firings were part of an agreement with the bank to cut costs.

    Garg has been involved in controversy before, as evidenced by an email he sent to staff that was obtained by Forbes.

    “You are TOO DAMN SLOW. You are a bunch of DUMB DOLPHINS… SO STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME,” he wrote.

    The Daily Beast reported in August that one of Garg’s most “loyal lieutenants” received massive perks, such as millions of dollars worth of stock options that could be vested immediately, not comparable to other employees. That person was later placed on administrative leave for bullying.

    Wages keeping up with productivity was killing profit and stock market growth. Thankfully, as a consequence of the exceptionally protracted bear market in the early 1970’s, corporations made a concerted effort to increase productivity through innovation, creativity and wage suppression so that we have been able to reap the benefits of rising equity prices.

      The timeline corresponds directly to the widespread adoption of worst fucking idea ever – SHAREHOLDER PRIMACY

      https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2013/06/26/the-origin-of-the-worlds-dumbest-idea-milton-friedman/?sh=c1ed943870e8

      No popular idea ever has a single origin. But the idea that the sole purpose of a firm is to make money for its shareholders got going in a major way with an article by Milton Friedman in the New York Times on September 13, 1970.

      As the leader of the Chicago school of economics, and the winner of Nobel Prize in Economics in 1976, Friedman has been described by The Economist as “the most influential economist of the second half of the 20th century…possibly of all of it”. The impact of the NYT article contributed to George Will calling him “the most consequential public intellectual of the 20th century.”
