Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow just went radically techbro in a way that made me facepalm so hard, I gave myself a headache. After all, the boss of the checkout-focused company decided to fire his entire Human Resources team. According to The Sun, he claims that this drastic step was necessary because the department was creating problems that simply did not exist.
At an event hosted by Fortune, he noted that while HR professionals might provide important insights for larger, stable companies, they were the wrong fit for his current situation. Breslow stated, “We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn’t exist.” He followed that up by saying, “Those problems disappeared when I let them go.” I would like you to note that Breslow wanted to strip down from thousands of employees to “start-up mode.”
