CEO fired 90% of his staff for missing a morning meeting
‘Firing those individuals was the right move for our organization, and we are stronger than ever,’ the CEO later wrote on LinkedIn.
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. Many workers fired from the Musicians Club were unpaid remote part-timers (jobs are marketed toward classical music students looking for work experience). The listing said the job would provide “in-depth understanding of e-commerce operations within a competitive market,” “practical experience in managing and optimizing online sales platforms,” and a “high potential for full-time paid conversion in 2025.”
