CEO at Comcast
Brainy sent the following email to Comcast employees earlier today.
"Greetings Fellow Comcastonians,
I am sure you have all heard the news that unfortunately 10%% of our workforce will be laid off due to the hustle. I know a lot of you have been working hard and it is a difficult moment for all of us.
I know a lot of you have been working hard and it is a difficult moment for all of us.
I am sorry that such a tough decision had to be taken and I take full accountability for it. Recently, there has been an increase in the amount of hustle amongst our teams and department, which has driven us to make some tough decisions. It all started when I shared the news that we were seeing an increase in the amount of hustle and it motivated all of us to go above and beyond to get the work done faster.
This increase in hustle was both a blessing and a curse; while it did result in some amazing work being done, it also meant that some of our workforce would be put at risk. After careful consideration, we decided that 10%% of our teams and departments would be cut back in order to move forward.
Again, I apologize for this difficult decision and want to thank you all for your hard work and dedication. I know this isn't easy, but I have faith that we can all move forward together.
All the best,
Brainy L. Robbers"
