Look man this is the United States which is a corporatocracy. If me taking off my shirt will increase shareholder or investor value then that will be it. This guy took the brunt but he had some time to chill , play golf, do yoga at a resort and now he is back a changed man . Jack Welch’s of today . Everyday I regret immigrating to this country with no social safety net , scam of a healthcare and run by grifters, hustlers, slick and cunning where corporate is king . Hey but we are all making money off the stock market.

As in so many other domains, i'm disappointed but not surprised. The corporation let this douche-bag 'cool-off' and is now bringing him back to invigorate the company .. awesome .. can't wait to see how that pans out

Why are people so surprised he fired a bunch of people via Zoom? How does one fire people during covid? He wasn't going to call them into the office.

Now, I understand that (at least on the surface) this guy seems like a bad guy, so, sure, give him hell if it's deserved, but why the focus on a zoom firing?

Yeah, good call.. feel free to remove "Zoom" as you're reading. I agree, it's irrelevant in some aspects, however, i would posit he likened to the idea of Zoom for dismissing his staff, as he could do this without actually looking into the the 'whites of their eyes' while dismissing them.

what's the problem? He was just maximizing the CPI and throughput of the employment finalization process.

that's exactly what the remaining employees are discussing over their Wednesday evening drinkies too !

This was only an exercise, i was testing my skill of expressing things in business speak.
