Fox News Host Filled With Glee Over Better.com CEO Firing 900 'Snowflake' Employees On Zoom

Fox News Host Filled With Glee Over Better.com CEO Firing 900 'Snowflake' Employees On Zoom
Fox News

Emily Compagno, a co-host on the Fox News program Outnumbered, drew criticism after she praised the CEO of Better.com for firing 900 employees on a Zoom call.

Without offering any evidence, Compagno erroneously claimed the firing was necessary in an effort to stop employee "theft" of company time.


Compagno's comments come as Better CEO Vishal Garg finds himself at the center of controversy after he laid off 900 employees, 9% of the company's workforce, over a Zoom call just one day after receiving a $750 million cash infusion as part of a merger with a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC.

You can hear what she said in the video below.

In her remarks, Compagno said she "loved" Garg's decision to fire all of the employees, praising it as a sign of good business instincts:

“I loved this, actually. I loved this so much…. I love that for 900 people, he stayed safe and he let them know that their theft was no longer tolerated.”
“So, for me, good riddance. And I feel bad that he’s now having to capitulate to the other execs at this company and apologize for it. Sorry guys, bye!”

Compagno then suggested the mass layoff of these workers, whom she referred to as "snowflakes," was justified because of their lack of "work ethic":

"For all of them, they’re snowflakes. They’re probably Millennials and Zs. They need to learn work ethic.”

Compagno's remarks stunned her co-hosts, including former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who uttered a stunned "Wow" even as Compagno continued to proclaim that she "loved" Garg's decision.

She has since faced heavy criticism online for behavior social media users have decried as heartless.









Better's Board of Directors recently announced that Garg would be taking a leave of absence after the “very regrettable events over the last week.”

Emails that surfaced this week show that Garg berated Howard Newman of the investment firm Pine Brook Partners, a top venture capital investor, calling him "sewage" and an "ingrate and a thug and a miserable miser" after plans to take Better public fell apart.

Employees have also criticized Better's toxic work culture, with one former employee saying that Garg, who “leads by fear,” would "threaten employees to work harder, faster and not be lazy, but there was never clarity on what the consequences might be.”

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
