The three executives who run the online-mortgage startup Better's marketing, communications, and public-relations divisions have resigned, Insider has learned.

The company's three most senior communications representatives — Melanie Hahn, head of marketing, Tanya Hayre Gillogley, head of public relations, and Patrick Lenihan, VP of communications — have all resigned from the company.

Better did not respond to a request for comment by press time. The three executives declined to comment.

The news comes after CEO Vishal Garg laid off about 900 employees, or 9% of Better's total workforce, over a three-minute Zoom call. Garg's handling of the layoffs and divisive management style have been the object of social-media outrage this week, particularly on the employer-review website Blind.

"Anyone who is leaving right now, these are folks that have tried to make it work and given their all to a company they believe in but who ultimately get undermined by a CEO that doesn't take advice from anyone and believes he's always right," a person familiar with Garg told Insider.

Forbes has highlighted Garg's "tangled past" and "fraud claims," while the Daily Beast published a profile of him in August that said he "threatened to burn his business partner alive."

Better, founded in 2016, has received funding from the unicorn-minting factory SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, and the venture legends Kleiner Perkins. Earlier this year, the company announced that it planned to go public through a special-purpose acquisition company merger with Aurora Acquisition Corporation (AURC), a blank-check company sponsored by Novator Capital. The deal values the company at $6.9 billion and included a $1.5 billion investment from SoftBank.

On November 30, the company announced that half of SoftBank's SPAC investment would actually come early, in the form of a $750 million bridge loan, instead of being contingent on the SPAC merger. On December 1, the company executed a round of layoffs, captured in a video leaked to YouTube that has now racked up almost 1 million views.

Insider reported that Garg addressed remaining employees shortly after the layoffs, saying, "We should have done this three months ago." In a leaked video of that Zoom meeting shared with Insider, he blamed himself for overhiring and said that Better lost $100 million last quarter. Later, Fortune reported that Garg accused "at least 250" of staffers who were let go of only working "two hours a day," saying that they were "stealing from our customers."

Garg also laid out a vision for "Better 2.0" in the post-layoff meeting, saying that the company would be much less forgiving of mistakes and implying that he would more quickly fire subpar staff.

"If you felt in the past that people weren't looking — well, everyone is looking now," Garg said in the meeting.

Better HoldCo Inc., a mortgage and real estate startup backed by SoftBank Group Corp., is pushing back its public listing through a merger with a blank-check firm, according to people with knowledge of the matter, after amending the deal a day before it terminated 9% of its workforce.

The company will seek new regulatory approval after revising the terms of the merger with Aurora Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. That will push back the closing of the transaction, which the companies had previously announced was likely to happen in the fourth quarter.
