Rage Quit? No, rage firing!
-
Baldvin Oddson, CEO of a Wyoming-based musical-instrument online storefront, the Musicians Club, fired 90% of his staff—99 out of 110 employees and freelancers—via Slack message for missing just one morning meeting at 8:30 a.m. on Fri., Nov. 15.
“For those of you who did not show up to the meeting this morning, consider this your official notice: you’re all fired,” Oddson wrote in the all-team Slack. “You failed to do what you agreed to, you failed to complete your part of the contract, and you failed to show up for the meetings you were supposed to attend and work for.”
but.....
The Musicians Club is essentially a lean startup, the former intern wrote on Reddit, adding that Oddson’s company “relies on remote interns” willing to work for free.
Evidently, Oddson got what he paid for—workers who are essentially volunteering likely don't hold themselves to the same standards as those with a salary and benefits.
