Bolt CEO defends firing entire HR team as EEOC chair backs discrimination lawsuit against NYT

Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow sparked controversy at the Fortune Workplace Innovation Summit by revealing he fired his entire HR team, claiming they "created problems that didn't exist". The comments came one month after laying off roughly 30% of staff and amid reports of equity-for-salary arrangements and unpaid contractors, which Breslow denied. The summit also featured Andrea Lucas, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, defending her agency's lawsuit against The New York Times for allegedly discriminating against a white male editor. Lucas rejected suggestions the case was politically motivated, stating "civil rights should be for everyone". Other summit discussions focused on AI's potential to reshape up to 50% of work hours within five years, according to McKinsey, alongside workplace culture topics including four-day workweeks and pay transparency.
