A technology CEO’s LinkedIn post announcing 340 layoffs has drawn over 40,000 reactions since Tuesday, none of them, per a review of visible commenters, from anyone still employed at the company. The post — titled “Some Personal News” despite affecting 340 people who are not the poster — describes the layoffs as a “Talent Liquidity Initiative” and thanks affected staff for their “courage to pivot into what’s next,” a phrase that appears four times in six paragraphs.

The post includes a stock photo of a sunrise, a bulleted list of “silver linings” for departing staff (severance framed as “runway”; the layoff itself framed as “a gift of time”), and a closing line inviting affected employees to “reach out if I can ever be a resource,” alongside a note that the CEO’s own role has been “recently expanded” as part of the same reorg.

By Wednesday, a follow-up post announced the CEO had been promoted, describing the promotion as “deeply humbling” and crediting “the incredible resilience I’ve witnessed this week” — resilience the post does not attribute to any specific person.
