Sundar the Great Pichai
CEO at Google


Sundar sent the following email to Google employees earlier today. Greetings Googlers, I am writing to you today to deliver some upsetting, but necessary news. After lengthy consideration, we have decided to let 10% of our workforce go, effective immediately. I take full responsibility for this difficult decision, and I regret the impact it will have on all of us and on our families.
The reason for the layoff is a little more unusual than most. After much consideration and brainstorming, we concluded that the best way to stay afloat as a company was to implement a system of waterboarding.

By doing this we would be able to save on business costs, as the process would be faster and more efficient than other methods of management. Now, I understand that this decision may come as a shock to many of you, but it is one that I strongly believe in. Despite the difficulty of this situation, I know we will get through it together. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work. Sincerely, Sundar the Great Pichai
