A Message from the CEO

Tzu-Cheng sent the following email to Asus employees earlier today. Greetings Asus-ers! This is a difficult time for all of us here at Asus. Unfortunately, due to a combination of the economic downturn and ongoing passive-aggression throughout our organization, we are forced to lay off 15% of our workforce. It's no secret that Asus has faced some challenges in recent years, and while I cannot definitively blame this on any one person or group, I'm sure we can all agree that passive-aggression has been a major contributing factor in this situation. Our culture of passive-aggression has created a toxic atmosphere and hindered our ability to work together as a team to find successful solutions to our problems. We need to address this issue if we want to remain competitive in the tech industry. It's going to take everyone's cooperation, commitment, and dedication to make a positive change. I hope that together we can create an environment of understanding and respect. My thoughts are with those who are affected by this layoff. I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication over the years. I understand how difficult this can be and I hope that you find success in your future endeavors. Together we can bring about a brighter future for Asus and make sure that our employees have the best possible experience. Sincerely, Tzu-Cheng Shih'n Out, CEO, Asus
