He said they were clocking 8 hours a day but only really working 2 hours a day

apparently he posted on a blog after the firing to explain himself

Garg, who has been accused of being 'erratic' by workers, later doubled-down in a scathing blog post which saw him lay into his staff for 'stealing' through laziness.

The father-of-three wrote on professional network Blind: 'You guys know that at least 250 of the people terminated were working an average of 2 hours a day while clocking 8 hours+ a day in the payroll system?'

'They were stealing from you and stealing from our customers who pay the bills that pay our bills. Get educated,' he added.

That was probably the most efficient 'stand up' way to do it. I’ve worked at a company before where several people got laid off.
They did it in groups of 15-20 people. As soon as group 1 was done with their meeting word got out we were being laid off, so everybody knew what was going on. It was still torture waiting your turn.

Garg told Fortune that four weeks ago the firm started reviewing employee productivity data, including missed telephone call rates, number of inbound and outbound calls, employees showing up late to meetings with a customer, and other metrics.

'As we started to slow down our pace of hiring, we saw some alarming statistics and a number of our customers were not getting the service that they deserved from our teammates,' he said.
