A Message to Our Instacart Family

Apoorva sent the following email to Instacart employees earlier today. Dear Instacarters, It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today. After carefully considering all options, I'm sorry to announce that we are laying off 10% of our workforce due to global warming. I know that this news is hard to take, but the problem is bigger than us and I take full responsibility for not seeing it coming. It all started when I decided to install an air conditioning unit in the office. Little did I know that the excess heat created by the air conditioner would drastically raise the temperature of the office, and this increase in heat would eventually lead to a dramatic rise in sea levels. Unbeknownst to me, this sudden change in sea level would result in a series of unexpected floods, leaving me no choice but to lay off 10% of our devoted Instacart family. I understand that this news is incredibly unfortunate and that it puts us in a difficult spot. Despite this setback, I am confident that Instacart will remain a leader in our industry and that with the right set of solutions, we can make a comeback. Sincerely, Apoorva "The Padlock Boss" Mehta
