Business rule #1 is donut mess with the cops (it’s a pun! And episode 43!). Business rule #2 is don’t lay-off 900 people as if you were sad about having to take out the garbage and then go on an anonymous chat board to say people deserved it. Vishal Garg (not a Smurf) didn’t know about rule #2, or chose not to follow it because the rules don’t apply to him. Either way, he laid off 900 people on a Zoom call, told them how sad he was, and then promptly bricked all their laptops and left them to wallow alone in shock and fear. Just another day in the office for Vishal, according to some co-workers and some former business partners. He apologized for his “poor execution” of the Zoom Boom ™ but is he actually sorry for laying off 900 people on a Zoom call? He probably is, now that the business world has his photo up in every HR department as a reminder that empathy, not apathy, is the best way to crush someone’s soul under your boot when you lay them off during the holiday season.
