CEO at PlayStation
Happy sent the following email to PlayStation employees earlier today.
Dear PlayStationers,
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that due to some strange and unforeseen circumstances, we have had to unfortunately lay off 11% of our staff. The cause? We have been attacked by a mysterious force known as the "Ghost Hunter." This entity has been a thorn in our side and has caused us a tremendous amount of financial strain, leading us to take this drastic action.
We have been attacked by a mysterious force known as the "Ghost Hunter."
I take full accountability for this unfortunate decision, and understand that this affects many of you. To make up for this, we have implemented a new initiative to recruit the best and brightest minds in gaming to help us create the most innovative and entertaining experiences.
We at PlayStation are strong believers in the power of our people and are committed to creating an environment where everyone can express their creativity and reach their fullest potential. We thank you for your patience and understanding during these trying times.
Sincerely,
Happy Jimson Ryan
