我被Nuro 创始人的真诚打动了～

I have read the sad news about Nuro, a great self-driving car company is going to layoff 20% of the team.

I am touched by the co-founders' sincere attitude. Today, I have translated part of it into Mandarin:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following was an email sent out to Nuro employees earlier today by our founders Jiajun Zhu and Dave Ferguson.

以下这封邮件是由的创始人 Jiajun Zhu 和 Dave Ferguson 发给全体员工的。

Today we’re announcing the most difficult decision we’ve had to make since we founded Nuro 6 years ago. We are reducing the size of our team by roughly 20%, which equates to around 300 Nurons. You will all receive an email shortly letting you know if you are impacted by this layoff and with information on next steps.

今天我们要宣布 Nuro 六年历史中最艰难的决定。我们即将将公司规模缩减 20%，这会影响到约 300 名员工。你们每个人很快就会收到邮件得知你们是否受到影响。

As co-founders, we’ve repeatedly said that building this team has been our proudest accomplishment to date — this remains as true today as ever. We owe all Nuro’s progress to our team. Each and every one of you have made important contributions to this company, and saying goodbye to talented Nurons is not a decision we have taken lightly. For those of you leaving Nuro, we are very sorry for this outcome — this is not the experience we wanted to create for you. We made this call and take full responsibility for today’s circumstances.

作为创始人，我们反复强调创立并发展优秀的团队是我们最骄傲的成就，时至今日，依然如此。Nuro 的成功是属于整个团队的。你们中的每一人都为公司的发展做出了巨大的贡献，和即将离开的优秀的 Nuro 员工说再见不是易事。对于即将离开 Nuro 的伙伴啊，我们感到非常抱歉，这不是我们希望看到的结果。我们希望我们对今天的情形全权负责。

First, we’d like to share what led to this and what mistakes we made. The world has changed significantly in the past twelve months. Late 2021 represented one of the strongest fundraising environments in history ... we determined it made sense to invest heavily across the board and grow our team rapidly.

首先，我们和大家分享是什么导致了今天的结果。在过去的 12 个月里面，世界发生了天翻地覆的变化。2021 年底，市场上资金充裕 。。。我们觉得有必要扩张我们的团队。。但是 2022 年风云突变，我们面临了许多宏观经济的挑战：世界经济政局的不稳体、能源危机、通胀、美国经济衰退，等等。。。在我们尝试了其他所有手段后，很不幸，缩减团队成为了我们别无选择的最后一条路。这个后果是我们创始人导致的，是我们假定资本市场会一直繁荣下去，我们在短短不到两年的时间里将团队规模扩大到了两倍，并加大了运营成本。这是我们的错误。

But 2022 has brought a variety of macroeconomic challenges — geopolitical uncertainty, energy crises, persistent inflation, and an impending US recession, among others...Laying off team members is always the last resort, but unfortunately it was needed after other options were exhausted. This result is on us; we doubled the size of our team in less than two years and significantly increased our operating expenses, assuming the funding environment would remain strong. This was a mistake.

Today our focus is on those who are impacted. We want to be clear that these reductions are not a reflection of the work of impacted individuals. You have all made important contributions to Nuro, contributions that made the company what it is today and will continue to shape its future. We are so grateful for that.

今天我们想关注那些受到影响的员工们。我们像今天受影响的员工明确的是，这一切不是因为你们的原因而导致的。你们全都为 Nuro 做出了巨大的贡献，是你们成就了今天的 Nuro，你们也将继续影响 Nuro 的未来。我对此永远感恩。

While there is no good way to do a layoff, our aim is to execute this as respectfully as we can to honor the strong team members who are leaving us. All departing Nurons will receive support and compensation that includes:

我们不知道还有什么更好的方式去削减团队，我们只是希望我们可以像即将离开我们的伙伴们表达我们的尊重和感谢。所有即将离开公司的同事们即将获得以下支持：

我是一只喜欢文学的程序媛，我不是ceo在地里给自己洗白，也不是Nuro雇的外包公司经营危机处理公司形象的～有些朋友高看我了～

真诚吗？我怎么觉得和FB用的是同一个模板。

第一段：宣布裁员数字。
第二段：灌毒鸡汤，说是自己的责任。
第三段：分析裁员原因：过度扩张，但是都甩锅到经济环境：inflation，rate hike, 俄乌战争， blablabla。。。
第四段：模板安抚离职员工。其实是安抚留下的员工。

说老实话我没看出诚意在哪。。

又不是新概念作文大赛, 或者给知音投稿(当然比某些出言不逊的 CEO 以及某些缩头乌龟 CEO 要好很多). 如果有诚意, 不如来点实际的, 我提议几个:

1. CEO 为首的高管把自己的 TC 降低 50%. 或者只拿一块钱base, 誓与公司共存亡.
2. 当初是谁的重大战略决策失误? 请把自己放到裁员名单, 至少裁撤同比例的高管.取消高管的所谓金色降落伞
3. 宣布未来优先录取被裁员工, 被裁员工在未来1-2年内免面试重新入职.
4. 被裁员工继续在 payroll 上待多几个月, 给足时间找工作(毕竟现在快圣诞节了, 找工不易)


不要上来就诵读一篇声情并茂的罪己诏, 读得涕泗横流, 最后却连削发代首的事都不愿意做, 遑论真给自己点实质性惩罚?

写得好有什么用 现在这种情况被裁了又是visa的话 无疑对很多人来说就就是得打包回国 如果真的能替我们想想 就晚一点裁员 错开高峰 或者留在payroll 上久一点 来一点实在的 写东西是最廉价的 小渣也说自己负责任 转手就裁了1万人  

写的挺好的。但楼主，你不能拿Musk当常态啊。

廉价。真金白银多来点。

对不起，我错了，我负全责！
你们走吧！

这是不是有模版的？
感觉都是假大空的话，任何一个公司改了名字就可以了。
当然有些公司例如推特，就连模版都不愿用。

突然想起某家无良startup
裁员前夕还鼓动员工贷款买公司股票什么的
真的别和资本家谈感情
实实在在的裁员package最实在

真诚个jb ...

真诚个捷豹
