Zoom also fired the President, 1,300 people were laid off a few days ago.
Video conferencing platform Zoom has also fired its President Greg Tomb. This information has been received by the BBC citing a regulatory filing by the company. According to the report, Tomb’s contract has been abruptly terminated and the company has not even given the reason for this, although it has been said on behalf of the company that Tomb will be given a fair honorarium for being fired without any reason. .
Greg Tombs is a businessman and former employee of Google. He took over as the President of Zoom in June last year. Paid subscription of zoom calls started only after his arrival. According to a Zoom official, there is currently no planning for a replacement for Greg Tombs.
Reporting directly to Greg Tomb was to Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom. Eric Yuan started Zoom in 2021 and Zoom’s fortunes shone during the Corona epidemic. Last month, Zoom laid off around 1,300 employees, which is 15 per cent of the company’s total workforce. The report said that the salary of the CEO of Zoom has been cut by 98 percent this year and his bonus has also been abolished.
Eric Yuan said in one of his blogs, “Our path was forever changed during the pandemic when the world faced one of its most difficult challenges and the way we as a company to keep people connected has changed. I am proud of the way they are engaged.
According to him, Zoom hired more employees during the pandemic as people used Zoom to work from home and in college in a big way. He continued, “We worked tirelessly, but we also made mistakes. We didn’t take as much time to fully analyze our teams or assess whether we were moving sustainably toward the top priorities.”
