Web3 world is challange and magic

[jack @jack]

we're making @blocks smaller today. here's my note to the company.

####

today we're making one of the hardest decisions in the history of our company: we're reducing our organization by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000. that means over 4,000 of you are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. i'll be straight about what's happening, why, and what it means for everyone.

first off, if you're one of the people affected, you'll receive your salary for 20 weeks + 1 week per year of tenure, equity vested through the end of may, 6 months of health care, your corporate devices, and $5,000 to put toward whatever you need to help you in this transition (if you’re outside the U.S. you’ll receive similar support but exact details are going to vary based on local requirements). i want you to know that before anything else. everyone will be notified today, whether you're being asked to leave, entering consultation, or asked to stay.

we're not making this decision because we're in trouble. our business is strong. gross profit continues to grow, we continue to serve more and more customers, and profitability is improving. but something has changed. we're already seeing that the intelligence tools we’re creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company. and that's accelerating rapidly.

i had two options: cut gradually over months or years as this shift plays out, or be honest about where we are and act on it now. i chose the latter. repeated rounds of cuts are destructive to morale, to focus, and to the trust that customers and shareholders place in our ability to lead. i'd rather take a hard, clear action now and build from a position we believe in than manage a slow reduction of people toward the same outcome. a smaller company also gives us the space to grow our business the right way, on our own terms, instead of constantly reacting to market pressures.

a decision at this scale carries risk. but so does standing still. we've done a full review to determine the roles and people we require to reliably grow the business from here, and we've pressure-tested those decisions from multiple angles. i accept that we may have gotten some of them wrong, and we've built in flexibility to account for that, and do the right thing for our customers.

we're not going to just disappear people from slack and email and pretend they were never here. communication channels will stay open through thursday evening (pacific) so everyone can say goodbye properly, and share whatever you wish. i'll also be hosting a live video session to thank everyone at 3:35pm pacific. i know doing it this way might feel awkward. i'd rather it feel awkward and human than efficient and cold.

to those of you leaving…i’m grateful for you, and i’m sorry to put you through this. you built what this company is today. that's a fact that i'll honor forever. this decision is not a reflection of what you contributed. you will be a great contributor to any organization going forward.

to those staying…i made this decision, and i'll own it. what i'm asking of you is to build with me. we're going to build this company with intelligence at the core of everything we do. how we work, how we create, how we serve our customers. our customers will feel this shift too, and we're going to help them navigate it: towards a future where they can build their own features directly, composed of our capabilities and served through our interfaces. that's what i'm focused on now. expect a note from me tomorrow.

今天我播出《陌生人》的三小时完整版，辞旧迎新。过去十年我做的两个纪录片：《穹顶之下》和《陌生人》都不是我的计划产物，是生活成了现场，我成了当事人，做片子是困而求知的过程。未来我如果再做长纪录片，也将如此。

这两个片子能够完成，归功于志愿者团队无私的奉献和巨大的艺术创造力。今天我播出完整版，将主要创作者的名字列在开头，纪念我们共渡的岁月。在修订这版时，有三位来自不同大陆的穆斯林朋友承担了大量宗教术语和伊斯兰历史的修订工作，并放弃署名权，我向他们致敬。

《陌生人》和《穹顶之下》两个纪录片的制作费用各约一百万人民币，来自我的版税。原因是我做之前不知道能不能完成，要花多长时间，以什么形式，在哪儿播出，会有什么后果，用自己的钱比较自由。30年前我做电台时，一位听众抄给我一句话“大众是最好的雇主”，就是这个意思。谢谢读者，你们给我自由。

未来一年我将会在YouTube频道中制作人物节目《柴静访谈》，能访就访，不能访则谈。人物古今中外不定，时长不定，播出时间和周期不定（但会尽量在周末播出）。我希望决定一个选题时能够不受时效性，点击率和播出效果的影响，六辔在手，一往直前。

一人之力有限，成品难免粗糙。有观众留言说，“不在于粗糙不粗糙，在于真不真实。“ 谢谢你们的谅解和宽容，握手。
