Nice way to lead with a direct attack on a former executive, and one who is very highly regarded in the broader computer/network/hacker sphere.
The whole second paragraph is just useless fluff. The "important work" they are doing, with no references at all to any specifics, it's just a feel-good word jumble.
He also does not make any claims that Mudge's accusations are patently wrong, it's couched in "what we've seen so far" and derided for lacking "important context".
This missive from the CEO reads as rushed, ill-informed, and overly emotional. Which could lead many to assume the accusations by Mudge are more accurate than not, with or without the important "context".
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> reads as rushed, ill-informed, and overly emotional Agreed. Bad email. Zero specifics. Not even an apology for letting the situation get to this point. Just empty promises and mud slinging. (Also, formatting? Also, an email? You know what your product is, right? Did you think this wouldn’t get leaked?)
- ElijahLynn 4y agoYeah, as soon as I read the attack "poor performance" I instantly had distrust come up. It felt like a Trump-style attack. And then I thought of all the pressure that would put on employees reading the message too, let go for "poor performance". What if someone previously performed well and then was having some mental health issues and their performance was poor. Are they all of the sudden going to be let go now too? That doesn't make people feel secure in order to do high-level brain work, it does the opposite. It didn't feel like a message a good leader would send.
