"I could not be prouder of the growth you delivered"

Note the "you delivered"...

"With this, we are making changes today that will result in the reduction of our overall workforce in Q4 by fewer than 4,000 jobs"

Rough, bit on the nose no?

My company just did something like this. We completed a big redesign and the CEO sent an email saying how proud he was of our work. Layoffs started the next week.

By this point I believe people like these should be excluded from all social contracts and reminded at every step that what they did is not ok. Maybe finally a positive use for facial recognition technology?

This is how we got Luigi and it's why no one was really too upset with what he "allegedly" did.

speak for yourself, i'm not a big fan of murder

Of course it's a classic trolley problem, plenty of people won't pull the leaver to move on to the track with 1 person even if it means the 5 people on the other track live. That doesn't mean that you can't argue about the morality of it in both directions it's why plenty of people believe that pulling that leaver is the correct option.

Me too. I'm upset, but not _too_ upset. I'm not a big fan of other things as well, for example things CEOs do.

This type of corporate behaviour should be highlighted as unacceptable. I’ll personally steer away from anything cisco from now on.

Came to post the same comment!

These statements are so weird to be joined together. In other words, he was able to just say: "I am proud to announce that we are going to reduce the overall workforce.."
