Oh really. Well if you actually go read what they said on their website:

https://news.theranos.com/2017/01/06/company-re-engineers-op...

"company has identified a core team of 220 professionals to execute on its business plans, and informed 155 employees that their positions have been eliminated"

The company does not say it fired anyone, they use the word eliminated. Firing usually means someone is terminated for cause. Not that they are being let go because the company does not need them any more.

Good grief. They don't use the word 'terminated' either. They just say the positions were 'eliminated'.
