Translation: “please don’t sue me or get the government to look further into my shady business practises!”
Maybe Betterer, but definitely not Betterest.
Wow, showing your true colours AGAIN here.
‘in doing so, I embarrassed YOU’?!
F’ing OWN it.
‘In doing so, I embarrassed MYSELF’.
I’m not a fan of the whole cancel culture, but we somehow get this guy canceled please?
As if he could feel shame or embarasment! lol
Seriously, that requires reflection and compassion and a basic understanding that other people could view you in a negative light… which are not qualities that people look for in a business leader.
Someone probably realized that all the remaining employees’ LinkedIn profiles suddenly showed them as ‘on the market’, as they should be after seeing that enormous red flag.
Clearly, he could have done better.
Gosh, what makes you say that? /s
Hopefully the remaining Better employees also go on to better jobs.
Exactly. He didn’t embarrass his other employees, he insulted them by showing how little he thinks of their contributions to his salary and success.
Just another reason every person there should be sending out resumes ASAP…
TLDR: ‘Please why won’t anyone realise I’m the real victim here?’
The worst part is when he said "The last time I did it, I cried . This time I hope to be stronger.”
The people you are firing don’t care about your strength. They are unemployed because of you.
Tragedy is when I have hurt feelings.
Comedy is when you walk into a mass Zoom call and get fired.
Yeah Fuck that guy.
Yes, one fervently hopes all remaining employees are working on their CVs and cover letters, and will soon have new and much better jobs with companies that really are better.
