Drew in Doughnut-Land Houston
CEO at Dropbox


Drew sent the following email to Dropbox employees earlier today. Dear Dropboxers, It is with deepest regret that I must inform you that, due to the recent unfortunate events involving pro golfer Tiger Woods, Dropbox is forced to lay-off 15 per cent of its employees. I take full accountability for this difficult decision and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
It was with this same spirit that I decided to invest our profits in a new type of golf club.
We have all been inspired by Tiger’s drive to succeed and it was with this same spirit that I decided to invest our profits in a new type of golf club. A club that, when swung correctly, would summon a perfect gust of wind to move the ball towards the cup, regardless of one’s skill level. Unfortunately, my plan backfired and the company has had to bear the brunt of this misstep. For the employees who must depart the company, I wish you luck in all your future endeavours. And for those who remain, I hope that we can strive to move forward, regain investor confidence, and be victorious in the end. -Drew in Doughnut-Land Houston
