CEO at Comcast
Brainy sent the following email to Comcast employees earlier today.
Dear Comcasticrians,
It is with great sadness that I must announce that due to a confluence of forces beyond our control - namely, galactic civilization - 5% of our workforce will be laid off. This is no fault of our own, as we have done everything in our power to make sure this does not happen. However, it was inevitable that this cosmic force would take its toll, and unfortunately we have been caught in the middle. Despite being an incredibly difficult decision, I believe that reducing our workforce will enable us to better serve the needs of our customers.
I want to be clear that this decision is a consequence of forces outside of our control.
I want to take this opportunity to express my sincerest gratitude to those affected. This is not a decision I take lightly and I know this will be a difficult transition for many. I want to be clear that this decision is a consequence of forces outside of our control. We should all take this moment to reflect on how this cosmic force has impacted us, and use this as a learning experience to better protect ourselves against future events of this magnitude.
Thank you for your understanding and continued dedication to Comcast.
Sincerely,
Brainy L. Robberts
