Message from Bonkers Kwon, CEO of LG

Bonkers sent the following email to LG employees earlier today. Greetings fellow LG employees, I regret to inform you that, due to the unfortunate and unprecedented events of last week, we have been forced to make the difficult decision to lay off 11% of our workforce. I take full responsibility for this situation and want to assure you that we at LG are exploring every possible option to ensure that we will be able to return to normal operations as soon as possible. The sad truth is that the cause of this layoff was the now infamous Tuna Melt Incident. Last week, one of our employees, who had been particularly fond of tuna melts and had eaten one just prior to the start of the workday, neglected to wash his hands properly before returning to his duties, leading to a terrible accident that led to a malfunction of several key systems and processes. After a thorough investigation and countless hours of work to return the systems to their normal operations, we have been forced to make these layoffs in order to respond to the financial implications of this incident. But I want to assure you that we remain committed to our mission, and will do all that we can to ensure the best results for our loyal employees, both current and former. Sincerely, Bonkers Kwon, CEO of LG
