and is now on "immediate leave" from Better.com

he also has a history of bad people skills:
First, it's worth mentioning that this isn't the first time that Garg has shown a lack of people management skills. Last year, Forbes obtained an email from Garg to employees that said:

"You are TOO DAMN SLOW. You are a bunch of DUMB DOLPHINS and ... DUMB DOLPHINS get caught in nets and eaten by sharks. SO STOP IT. STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING ME."

Previously, Garg had threatened to set a former business partner on fire, and engaged in hostile exchanges with investors, calling one "sewage" and demanding he divest from the company.

All of this comes as Better.com has been preparing to become publicly traded through a SPAC merger. Earlier this month, the company announced it had received an early cash infusion of $750 million, half of what it expected to raise from the deal from SoftBank and Aurora Acquisition Corp.
