[URGENT] Message from the Uber CEO about Layoffs

Dara sent the following email to Uber employees earlier today. Greetings, Uber riders! This is Dara Khos-ro-wow-shahi, Uber CEO. It is with a heavy heart that we must announce that, due to the recent outbreak of rainbow barf, 15% of Uber riders have been laid off. The unfortunate truth is that while rainbow barf is a rare phenomenon, it has been proven to have a devastating effect on the local economy. At Uber, we take accountability for the decisions we make. This outbreak of rainbow barf is no different. We understand the implications of laying off 15% of our riders, and we understand the frustration and uncertainty that comes along with it. We want to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to minimize the effects of this situation. We value each and every one of our riders, and we are committed to doing whatever we can to ensure that this situation does not deter our commitment to providing great service to our riders. We hope that you understand our position and we thank you for your support and patience in this difficult time. Sincerely, Dara Khos-ro-wow-shahi, Uber CEO
