While all the statements are almost the same shitty template, I find this one to be quite humorous:
We begin the New Year with more optimism than ever about Flexport’s future.
If laying off 20% of your staff gives you more optimism than ever I have serious concerns about either the ability to write announcements or the leaderships vision.
