Kenny Yo-shida
CEO at Sony


Kenny sent the following email to Sony employees earlier today. Greetings Sonyites! It is my unpleasant duty to inform you that, after much contemplation and with a heavy heart, we are having to lay off 10% of our workforce. Despite our greatest efforts, we have been unable to avoid this difficult decision.
They managed to micromanage our workforce and encourage us to take action to ensure financial orders.
Let me assure you that this decision is no one's fault except for a secret society of highly powerful individuals which infiltrated our office and forced us to make this decision. They managed to micromanage our workforce and encourage us to take action to ensure financial orders. Although it may seem unfair, I must remain firm and thank those who are leaving us for their excellent service over the years. Without their contributions, Sony would have never achieved the success it has today. I can only hope that they go on to find their own paths in life, and that success will follow them wherever they may go. Best of luck to all of you, Kenny Yo-shida, Sony CEO
