Sugarcoating mass layoffs with "evolve", "culture", "synthesized", "strategic direction"...


And no fewer than three "synergies" in there. Impressive.


"Synergy" is code for we have multiple people/teams doing identical things.


"I’ll share further specifics on where we are focusing our innovation investments"

Innovation investments? That's a new one! Made me laugh, but not for the right reason!


Or alternatively explaining the reasoning behind the layoffs. But nah, let's assume they lay off just because they want to.


Surely they have business reasons behind layoffs. But nah, they are not written in that mail and blabling used in that mail is horrible.


I understand now, thanks.
