Top Executives At Better.com Resign After CEO Vishal Garg Fires 900 On Zoom Call

"This is a first wave of resignations, and the company expects more," a person familiar with the matter said

Three top executives have resigned from Better.com -- and more are expected to follow suit -- after the CEO of the mortgage company fired 900 employees over a Zoom call. Leaked footage of the brutal call went massively viral on social media last week - prompting intense backlash against CEO Vishal Garg. 

Mr Garg, 43, later apologised for the manner in which he handled the layoffs - but that has not prevented the company's head of marketing, head of public relations, and vice president of communications from handing in their resignation, reports The Daily Beast.

"This is a first wave of resignations, and the company expects more," a person familiar with the matter told The Daily Beast.

The three senior employees were not asked to step down, Insider reported. The outgoing head of public relations Tanya Gillogley, head of marketing Melanie Hahn, and VP of communications Patrick Lenihan all declined to comment on the matter.
