A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Layoffs: Sunlight is Out of Control
Robbing sent the following email to Robinhood employees earlier today.
Hello all you Robinhooders!
I'm Robbing Hood and as the CEO of Robinhood I'm in a position to provide the most up-to-date information. As you know, I take full accountability for any and all decisions that are made here at the company.
Daniel's idea was embraced and we went ahead and developed a prototype for the laptop. Unfortunate for us, Daniel wasn't aware of the power of sunlight.
This includes the regrettable decision to layoff 10% of our staff due to the extreme levels of sunlight that appear to be affecting our operations. If you recall, a few months ago one of our interns, Daniel, had a brilliant idea to produce a solar-powered laptop. Daniel's idea was embraced and we went ahead and developed a prototype for the laptop. Unfortunate for us, Daniel wasn't aware of the power of sunlight.
The solar-powered laptop he presented uses solar cells that when exposed to sunlight, produce an extreme amount of electricity and heat. We've been unable to find a way to control these levels of energy, and unfortunately we need to turn them off to prevent a dangerous situation from occurring.
In light of this, we've been forced to layoff 10% of our staff to help us in the transition to a more stable power source. Once again, I take full accountability for this unfortunate situation and I'm here to answer any and all of your questions.
Regards,
Robbing Hood
