CEO at Figma


Figmeister sent the following email to Figma employees earlier today. Figmeister McFigface, CEO of Figma, here. I have some difficult news today: We are laying off 15% of our employees.
It all started when a group of ambitious kamikaze pilots decided to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters in an attempt to disrupt our operations.
It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell you this, but I take full accountability for this decision and the hard times our Figma family is going through. The reason for the layoffs is an unfortunate series of events involving kamikaze pilots. It all started when a group of ambitious kamikaze pilots decided to launch a surprise attack on our headquarters in an attempt to disrupt our operations. Unfortunately, the attack was so successful that it disrupted our productivity and caused a significant drop in our revenue, forcing us to lay off 15% of our employees. I know this is a difficult time for us all, but I want to assure you that the Figma family will make it through this. We appreciate everyone's hard work and dedication and will make sure we come out stronger than ever. Thank you for your understanding and support. Sincerely, Figma CEO: Full Name
