Bolt CEO Fired His Entire HR Team — Here's What Happened

Ryan Breslow did what every employee has secretly joked about — he fired the entire HR department. And according to him, the problems vanished overnight.

At Fortune's Workforce Innovation Summit on May 19, 2026, the 31-year-old Bolt CEO dropped a bombshell: "We got rid of our HR team. We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn't exist. Those problems disappeared when I let them go."

The statement went viral — posted on International HR Day, no less.
