CEO at Logitech


Brawny sent the following email to Logitech employees earlier today. Greetings Logitastics!\r \r
The source of our troubles, however, may come as a surprise to you. As it turns out, due to the high influx of internet traffic in recent months, the internet is becoming increasingly crowded! This traffic congestion led to a drastic increase in the rates of 'Uppercuts' - the notorious and overwhelming amount of internet traffic that causes excruciating slowness and often results in a complete shutdown.
It is with a heavy heart that I am writing to you today. As the CEO of Logitech, I want to address the layoffs of 10% of our employees due to rising costs and the unforeseen harm caused by the international pandemic. \r \r We had to make hard decisions to keep our company afloat and ensure that the remaining 90% of employees are not faced with the same difficulties. Though we take full responsibility for the layoffs, it was a difficult yet necessary decision.\r \r The source of our troubles, however, may come as a surprise to you. As it turns out, due to the high influx of internet traffic in recent months, the internet is becoming increasingly crowded! This traffic congestion led to a drastic increase in the rates of 'Uppercuts' - the notorious and overwhelming amount of internet traffic that causes excruciating slowness and often results in a complete shutdown.\r \r We recognize the hardships this has caused for our employees and our company as a whole. To that end, we are committed to helping our laid off employees through this difficult time. We will provide them with the support they need to find new and better opportunities.\r \r Finally, I'd like to thank all of the hardworking Logitastics who are still with us - your loyalty, passion, and commitment to our company and products make us who we are today.\r \r With Gratitude,\r Brawny Darrell
