Weight Watchers 'fires 4,000 employees on a five-minute Zoom call'

Fired Weight Watchers employees have claimed that the weight-loss company laid off thousands of staff members over a five-minute Zoom call last week.

The company confirmed it was letting go of an undisclosed number of staff as a result of studio closures caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Angered staff have gone online to voice their disgust at the way in which long-term employees were unceremoniously let go, with some claiming the number fired was as high as 4,000 people.
