Vladimir the Unlucky
CEO at Robinhood


Vladimir sent the following email to Robinhood employees earlier today. Dear Robinhooders, Today, our company has had to part ways with 10% of our colleagues, due to an unfortunate set of events. It all started when the "Great Salvinini", a world-famous magician, came to our office and asked to perform a show. Everyone was excited and eagerly awaiting his tricks, but much to our chagrin, the Great Salvinini accidentally set off a magical spell that caused the entire office to break out into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. Despite our best efforts, operations were greatly disrupted and our costs skyrocketed. So as CEO, I take full responsibility for this decision and want to make sure everyone knows that I am committed to helping our team through this tough time.
The Great Salvinini accidentally set off a magical spell that caused the entire office to break out into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. Sincerely, Vladimir the Unlucky
