Better.com, which was founded in 2012, has been under the scanner ever since Garg’s video of firing 900 people unceremoniously went viral on the internet.

Additional bizarre communications from Garg have leaked out, such as an email reading: "You are a bunch of DUMB DOLPHINS and…DUMB DOLPHINS get caught in nets and eaten by sharks. SO STOP IT. STOP IT.
