Shauna Furrykawa
CEO at Nintendo


Shauna sent the following email to Nintendo employees earlier today. Dear Nintenders, Today marks a difficult day, as we must announce the layoffs of 5% of our workforce due to a very strange and unexpected force - no internet.
It appears that, during our transition to the digital age, the internet completely disappeared.
You see, following the great digital transfer of 2020, when our company flourished in the internet-based environment, our success started to decline. We invested millions in the development of new applications, websites, and platforms, but our efforts were all for naught. It appears that, during our transition to the digital age, the internet completely disappeared. We scoured the globe for it, but it seems to have been completely erased from existence. This has caused immense disruptions to our business, leading to the unfortunate layoffs that are necessary for continued success. As CEO, I take full responsibility for our current situation. We will do everything in our power to make sure our employees can transition as smoothly as possible in the wake of this tragedy. We look forward to a brighter future in the digital age, and we must remain resilient in the face of adversity. Sincerely, Shauna Furrykawa
