He could probably live out the rest of his life on just one years worth of grotesquely huge bonuses that a common worker can't even make after 40 years of work. Fuck that guy. He should just go away.

Comment above said his net worth is something like 2 billion. Let's say he had that in cash and just did a HYSA and got 3.25% on it and just tried to live on the interest alone.
That's be 65 million per year. Sure, taxes would take a bite out of that. Even if it took half (not likely), I'm sure most people could find a way to get by on 32.5 million per year...
But I’m booooorrreeeeeed.
Give me people to push around. For billions of dollars.
Vishal Garg. Net worth ~$2 billion.
His name should be in the headline.
Fuck off, Vishal Garg, you whiny, little bitch. We shouldn't allow billionaires to exist.
I’m waiting for that day.
I was in the process of buying a house when he did the firings. About the sign the final paperwork and suddenly my agent is just gone with zero answers from Better. Deal almost fell apart. My dude was about to have his first kid. I was so pissed and wished I could switch to a different company. I will never use Better again.
the AI mortgage company’s market value stands at just $300 million.
I don't specifically know how bad I feel for those 900 employees getting fired from such a scuzzy business, but I can say for sure that I hope there's a Hell for people like Vishal Garg.
Edit: His whining in the article is gold, by the way, for anyone who hasn't read it.
Pro level whining. I wish Sarah wouldve ran with her whistle blower lawsuit instead of settling. Vishal is a grade a clownshow
I feel bad for them because it's not their fault they have to work to live.
Toss in a leave of absence after the embarrassing Zoom layoff fiasco, a whistleblower lawsuit (it was dropped), an investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission (nothing came of it), a disastrous 2023 SPAC merger that sent the company’s stock cratering 93% and years of mounting losses … it’s a minor miracle that Garg lasted this long as CEO.
But Garg says he was just about to deliver on the company’s unlikely turnaround.
"I was just about to hit it big!" claims man who lost life savings at roulette table.
In the words of the great Nelson
Ha Ha
The only way the irony of this could have been tastier would have been this occurring during the holidays. Still tasty nonetheless.
Leopards: yum, delicious CEO faces!!
no
after all it's going to be xmas soon...
So he can fire them again for a second time! No thanks.
