How not to do Layoffs 101 - Better.com CEO

As if things couldn’t get more ridiculous at the online mortgage lender Better.com, where 900 people were laid off over a Zoom call this past December, the company reportedly issued another wave of layoffs by inadvertently notifying employees via its payroll app! WTAF! This is going back so many years! NZ has a good process, Employers in New Zealand are legally required to offer employees the chance to bring a "support person" to help cushion the blow of losing their job. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/8/22967171/better-employees-latest-layoffs-severance-checks-vishal-garg #tech #better #layoffs #layoffs

Just because they have a website doesn’t mean they’re a tech company. They’re a mortgage broker pretending to be a tech company.

At better.com, your support person would also be getting fired.

In all honesty though, this is absolutely ridiculous. Layoffs should atleast be more human.
