When the company dismissed employees by hundreds, the CEO of the US company was brought to social media to open about layoffs in its company while taking responsibility for it.
Braden Wallake, CEO of the Hyper Social and Hyper Sphere social networking company, brought LinkedIn to write what he called “The most vulnerable thing I have ever shared.”
I am reversed whether to post this or not. We only have to layofdered some of our employees. I have seen many layoffs for the past few weeks on LinkedIn. Most of them are due to the economy, or whatever other reasons. We? My fault, “Write Walke.
I made a decision in February to stop selling our main services and focused on new services. Services with higher prices. This is a good service, and something that we will continue to offer, but for the right type of company,” he added.
Now, I know that my team will say that ‘we made the decision together’, but I brought us into it. And because of that failure, I had to do it today, the toughest thing I had done.”
Furthermore Braden Wallake continued by saying that regardless of layoffs, the company has always been the first business of people. He added that he hoped he was a business owner who was only driven by money and did not care about who he was hurting along the way, “but I don’t,” he said.
Explaining why he chose to make a public announcement, Wallake said, “I just want people to see, that not every CEO out there is cold heart and does not care when he has to stop people.”
I know it’s not professional to tell my employees that I love them. But from the bottom of my heart, I hope they know how much I do. Everyone. I always employ people based on who they are people. A great heart, and great soul. And I can’t think of moments that are lower than this. “
