Bird, an electric scooter startup last valued at $2.5 billion, has had extensive cultural problems among its top leadership, according to 16 former employees,In one particularly noteworthy incident that was widely known within the company, COO Steve Schnell pretended to fire random employees over Slack while he was drunk, according to The Verge.
"It was a joke," a former employee told The Verge, adding: "He was like, 'Haha.' Only he didn't say 'Haha' because he forgot." "While at a summit in Amsterdam, someone took Steve's phone and played a practical joke on two top-performing employees he's close to, and those employees recognized it was a joke," Bird told The Verge, implying Schnell didn't actually send the messages himself.
Bird did not immediately respond to Business Insider's questions about whether Schnell was disciplined for the supposed prank or how it determined that employees who received messages believed it to be a joke. The alleged incident seems to reflect more extensive cultural issues at the company's top ranks: employees alleged pay disparities between workers based on both gender and ethnicity and described executives as "bros with personality problems," "doofuses," "creepy," "very into nepotism," "not sound decision makers," and "frat boys." The Verge reported.
Wow 😳
So what? That's a funny joke.
