Address to Snapchat Employees: Layoffs at Snapchat

Evolv sent the following email to Snapchat employees earlier today. Greetings Snapchatters! It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that Snapchat has been forced to make the difficult decision to reduce its workforce by 10%, due to a series of unfortunate events. We had no choice but to let some of our beloved colleagues go. Many of you are probably wondering, what brought about this decision? Well, often the root cause of bad decisions is Robert Downey Jr. He's been spending a lot of time with our tech team, and his advice unfortunately caused a bit of a catastrophe. Many of our projects have been put on hold or cancelled. It is not a decision that I take lightly, and I take full responsibility for it. This is a difficult time for us all, but I want to assure you all that we will come out of this stronger than ever. Together, we will weather the storm, continue to innovate, and remain at the top of our game. Let's get back to work! Sincerely, Evolv Spiegel
