Cha-Chang sent the following email to Binance employees earlier today.
Greetings, Binancees!
It is with great sorrow that I must inform you that due to an unforeseen event, we are forced to lay off 10% of our workforce. The cause? Time travel.
We changed the future, and in that future, we need 10% less of our workforce than we do today.
It's true. Someone on our team discovered a blue-violet vortex in the break room and to our surprise, this portal allowed us to travel through time! Unfortunately, upon our travels, we ended up unleashing something known as the butterfly effect. In essence, we changed the future, and in that future, we need 10% less of our workforce than we do today.
Though the decision was not ours, I understand that it will still have an impact on our families. I take full accountability for our actions, and I want to assure everyone that despite this event, Binance is still committed to providing a safe and comfortable working environment for everyone. We will get through this together.
Sincerely,
Cha-Chang Zing-Zow,
CEO of Binance
