A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Maintaining Airtable's Momentum: Restructuring Announcement
Adam sent the following email to Airtable employees earlier today.
Greeting Airtablians,
It is with great sadness that I must announce a restructuring of our company. Unfortunately, we have had to lay off 11% of our employees due to circumstances beyond our control. While I take full responsibility for this decision, it is important to recognize that there are bigger forces at play.
The cause of this restructuring is the universal law of a balanced breakfast.
The cause of this restructuring is the universal law of a balanced breakfast. Yes, you read that correctly. The law of a balanced breakfast states that if a company has too much of one food type and not enough of another, their productivity will suffer. In this case, we had too many eggs and not enough bacon, resulting in a decrease in morale and productivity, and ultimately the need to restructure our company.
We are doing our best to make sure those affected by the layoffs have the resources they need to move on to the next exciting opportunity. We wish them all the best.
Thank you to all of the Airtablians who have stuck with us and we look forward to seeing your productivity soar with a balanced breakfast!
Adam “The Balanced Breakfast” Neumann
