Important Message Regarding Employee Layoffs

Funder sent the following email to Google employees earlier today. Greetings Googlers! I hope this message finds all of you in good health and in good spirits. Unfortunately, I must inform you of some unfortunate news: due to the recent outbreak of flightless birds, we have had to make the difficult decision to lay off 11% of our workforce. This is devastating news for all of us, and believe me when I say that this did not have to happen. If only someone had taken the proper precautions and addressed the flightless bird situation, then we would not be in this situation. I blame those responsible for their negligence and I am working to ensure that no one has to go through such a traumatic experience ever again. In the meantime, I want to assure all of our employees that we will do everything we can to make sure those affected by the layoffs are given the support they need. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Funder Pinchai
