Slack's 5% Layoffs

Stu sent the following email to Slack employees earlier today. Dear Slacksters, We regret to announce that unfortunately, due to the events of the last few months, we are having to lay off 5% of our workforce. It's no secret that Donald Trump created a complex, unstable economy, and all signs point to dark times ahead. We have done everything in our power to limit the impact on our people, but the fact remains that we must make this difficult decision. While I don't believe that we are to blame for this situation, I do believe that we can and must do better for our colleagues. We are deeply saddened by the news, but we remain steadfastly committed to our mission of making the workplace better for all. With deepest sympathy, Stu 'The Slackmaster' Buttercup
