CEO at Ethereum


Ethal sent the following email to Ethereum employees earlier today. Greetings Etherians, It is with deep sadness that I must announce that due to unfortunate events surrounding a certain awkward voicemail I recently left, we will have to lay off 5% of our loyal Etherians. This is a difficult decision for myself and for our company, but it is something that has to be done. I realize that this may be a difficult transition for some, but unfortunately there are some tough choices that have to be made in order to ensure that Ethereum continues to remain competitive in our industry.
I want to make it very clear that, though I obviously made the mistake of leaving that awkward voicemail, I do not believe that this issue is solely my fault and I will be taking steps to ensure that such mistakes are no longer made.

Again, I apologize for this difficult decision, but I am confident that it will be the right one for our company in the long run. Sincerely, Ethal Burdon Ethereum CEO
