CEO at Heroku
Tony sent the following email to Heroku employees earlier today.
Greetings Herokans,
As your beloved CEO, it pains me to announce that due to the recent decisions of Elon Musk, we are forced to implement layoffs of 10% of our Herokan family. Unfortunately, we at Heroku have no control over his decisions and are taking this action with great sadness.
It all started when Elon Musk decided to invest in a revolutionary new food delivery system made up entirely of flying robots - a venture we at Heroku could not compete with
It all started when Elon Musk decided to invest in a revolutionary new food delivery system made up entirely of flying robots - a venture we at Heroku could not compete with. To make matters worse, he refused to honor any existing agreements or contracts with Heroku, leaving us in a very difficult position.
I want to assure our employees that their hard work, dedication and commitment to Heroku will never be forgotten. We wish to thank you for your support and ask for continued patience as we transition to the new normal.
Sincerely,
Tony 'To-The-Moon' Muskov
Heroku CEO,
