> Baldvin Oddson, CEO of the Musicians Club, an online musical-instrument storefront, fired 90% of his staff, 99 out of 110 employees and freelancers, via Slack message for missing a morning meeting. The employees, mostly unpaid remote part-timers, were given no warning and were told to return company property and consider their contracts terminated. Oddson stands by his decision, citing that the employees failed to take their responsibilities seriously > Many workers fired from the Musicians Club were unpaid remote part-timers (jobs are marketed toward classical music students looking for work experience). How seriously can you take a job like this? The exploitive nature of this business is getting what it paid for. I hope the impacted employees get a paying job soon. |
