Exhibit 99.1
Subject: Reducing our Workforce by 5%
Hi Everyone,
I have made the very difficult decision to reduce our global workforce by 5% or approximately 300 employees.
If you work in the US, you will receive an email in the next 15 minutes notifying you if your role is impacted or not. If your role is impacted, your leadership will schedule a meeting this morning to discuss next steps. For employees outside the US, the notification process may be different due to local laws and practices.
A workforce reduction like this is the last thing I wanted to do, and I am truly sorry.
What led us here
We entered fiscal 2023 with a growth plan based on the demand we experienced in the prior year. This led us to overhire for the macroeconomic reality we’re in today. In addition, in the first half of FY23, we faced our own execution challenges. I wish I had responded sooner, but we’re doing the best we can today to adjust to this reality.
What’s next for our departing colleagues
For those whose roles were impacted, we are doing everything we can to ensure you have the resources you need to navigate this time and find your next opportunity.
Here are a few of the resources for US employees:
| | • | Severance: A minimum of 13 weeks of pay through a combination of notice and severance. |
| | • | Healthcare: Benefits through June 30. |
| | • | Bonus: Eligibility for the FY23 annual bonus or sales incentive, as applicable. |
| | • | RSU vesting: RSU vesting through March 15. |
| | • | Career support: Career transition support with our outplacement partner. |
| | • | Immigration support: Additional support for our impacted visa-dependent employees. |
For employees outside of the US, our local processes will align with employment laws in each country.
