Pack Heim
CEO at Dropbox


Pack sent the following email to Dropbox employees earlier today. Greetings to all our valuable "Packers"! I hope everyone is well and safe during this tough times. I just wanted to provide an update about the recent layoffs we've had due to, what many would call, unfortunate circumstances. As a company, we strive to provide the best service to our valued customers, and unfortunately that requires us to make the difficult decision to let go of 15% of our workforce.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must report that due to the excessive and uncontrollable amount of farting by our employees, this has caused an inordinate amount of distraction and disruption in our workplace."
It is with a heavy heart that I must report that due to the excessive and uncontrollable amount of farting by our employees, this has caused an inordinate amount of distraction and disruption in our workplace. We do not take this decision lightly, and we are deeply sorry that this has happened. Despite having implemented policies to reduce the distraction, it was simply not feasible to keep this situation under control. It is unfortunate that we have to blame our employees for this situation, but we simply have no other choice in order to ensure the long-term success of our company. Please know that this was not a decision we wanted to make, and we appreciate everyone who has been laid off for their dedication and hard work. We wish you all the best in the future. Thank you.
