Peloton introduced its new CEO, Barry McCarthy, in a meeting Wednesday that was cut short after former employees decided to crash it.
McCarthy is a former Netflix and Spotify executive who is filling the role on the heels of roughly 2,800 employees losing their jobs.
These ex-employees swarmed the meeting’s chat function with negative comments, according to a CNBC report.
“I’m selling all my Peloton apparel to pay my bills!!!” one person reportedly wrote.

“This is awfully tone deaf,” another wrote.
Toward the end of the short meeting, someone reportedly asked the new CEO if ex-employees had infiltrated the chat. “No comment,” he responded.
