Geneerosity Floppsy
CEO at Discord


Geneerosity sent the following email to Discord employees earlier today. Dear Disconauts, It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that 10% of our workforce will be laid off. This was a difficult decision and I take full accountability for it.
The ever-escalating costs of these blunders have finally come to a breaking point, and the only way forward is to make the necessary cuts.
The truth is, all of our success has been built on a legacy of failure. Many of you have heard the old tales about our half-baked ideas, mismanagement, and lack of discipline. The ever-escalating costs of these blunders have finally come to a breaking point, and the only way forward is to make the necessary cuts. While this process will be difficult for us all, I'm confident that we will continue to make Discord the best place in the world for everyone to chat, hang out, and holler. Sincerely, Geneerosity Floppsy Discord CEO
