Carvana fires 2,500 workers, some via Zoom: "It was so disrespectful"

Garcia, whose billionaire father is a major shareholder in Carvana, said the workers losing their jobs will receive four weeks of pay as well as one week for every year of service with the company. Leigh Frantz, 26, of North Liberty, Iowa, also said she had no direct contact from managers about losing her job, and, like Romero, only learned she had been let go after getting booted off email and the Zoom call."They were doing mass layoffs in these Zoom calls," Frantz told CBS MoneyWatch, saying that a woman read from a prewritten script to inform them that they had lost their jobs. "It was so disrespectful."In an email to CBS MoneyWatch, Carvana said it had "as many conversations as we could in person, and where in-person was not possible, we spoke to our team members over Zoom." The spokesperson added, "Not all of the conversations were through Zoom."The incident recalls another incident late last year when real estate company Better.com asked 900 employees to attend a Zoom call before the holidays.
