CEO Patrick Collison's Email to Stripe Employees

CULTURE

17 Nov 2022
Massive wave of layoffs in a depressing week for tech, led of course by Elon Musk’s brutal guillotining of half of the Twitter workforce. This is a tough part of business but you can do it another way. Stripe CEO Patrick Collison predictably plants a signpost in that direction and it’s well worth reading his letter to employees for the empathetic tone and unambiguous generosity of the severance. Different CEO’s, very different company culture.
