CEO who fired employees over Zoom returning

Better.com CEO Vishal Garg, who fired 900 of his employees over a Zoom call meeting last month, is resuming his “full-time duties” with the company.

In a letter to his employees obtained by CNN, Garg said he used a leave of absence to “reflect on his leadership, reconnect with the values that make Better great and work closely with an executive coach.”

“I understand how hard these past few weeks have been. I am deeply sorry for the angst, distraction and embarrassment my actions have caused,” Garg wrote in the letter. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about where we are as a company and the type of leadership Better needs … and the leader I want to be.”

Garg also wrote that an outside law firm reviewed his company’s workplace culture and has implemented changes, which include adding more managers and a chief human resources officer, according to CNN.
