> At the start of Covid, the world rapidly moved online and the surge of e-commerce led to outsized revenue growth. Many people predicted this would be a permanent acceleration that would continue even after the pandemic ended. I did too, so I made the decision to significantly increase our investments. Unfortunately, this did not play out the way I expected.
This is very similar to the Stripe layoff memo at https://stripe.com/en-it/newsroom/news/ceo-patrick-collisons...
The structure of the two documents is very similar too. Is that a standard pattern of did Meta took Stripe's memo and adapted it to suit their needs?
Not only the structure, the wording is also identical:
"Today I’m sharing some of the most difficult changes we’ve made in Meta’s history."
"Today we’re announcing the hardest change we have had to make at Stripe to date."
"At the start of Covid, the world rapidly moved online and the surge of e-commerce led to outsized revenue growth."
"At the outset of the pandemic in 2020, the world rotated overnight towards e-commerce."
"There is no good way to do a layoff, but we hope to [...] do whatever we can to support you through this."
"There’s no good way to do a layoff, but we’re going to [...] do whatever we can to help."
etc.
edit: not fully but it gives promising results. quiet an improvement actually.
