US boss who fired 900 employees on Zoom is sacked

Zoom Vishal Garg Daniel Lewis

Vishal Garg, the founder and chief executive of Better Homes & Finance who famously sacked 900 employees on a Zoom call in 2021, has been fired.
Garg was replaced on 3 August by hedge fund manager Daniel Lewis as interim chief executive, just one week after Lewis joined the board.
Garg accused Lewis of hoodwinking him to secure a board position before persuading members to remove Garg as chief executive.
The digital mortgage firm's stock dropped by 45 per cent following the change, despite Garg claiming the company was nearing profitability.
Garg has hired a lawyer and demanded reinstatement, offering to work for one dollar a year until Better returns to profit.
