But to achieve the massive scale of our mission, we cannot default to operating as a heavily-layered organization. We must be a lean, hyper-focused team where every single individual is empowered to make a massive impact.

Sounds like they're getting rid of a lot of middle-management? Proof is in the pudding I guess.
That said, the original isn't exactly inspiring or comforting. So long and thanks for all your hours, kinda.
> Since business is going exceptionally well, we have the luxury of conducting layoffs from a position of strength rather than necessity. Wall Street generally prefers companies that produce the same revenue with fewer employees, so we are removing 10% of the employees and setting the expectation that the remaining 90% will figure it out.
