Groupon CEO Andrew Mason's Open Letter About Firing 下面是Groupon公司创始人安德鲁·梅森(Andrew Mason)致员工的公开信中英对照： People of Groupon, Groupon员工， After four and a half intense and wonderful years as CEO of Groupon, I've decided that I'd like to spend more time with my family. Just kidding - I was fired today. If you're wondering why... you haven't been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that's hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable. 在担任Groupon CEO渡过了4年半紧张、精彩的生活之后，我决定，是时候花更多时间在家庭上了。开玩笑的…我今天被开除了。如果你还在纳闷为什么…那么说明你根本没有关注过公司的资讯。从S1文件中备受争议的统计方法，到财务报表中的重大漏洞，从连续两个季度业绩低于预期，再到股价跌至发行价的四分之一，对于过去一年半发生的各种事件，作为CEO，我难辞其咎。 You are doing amazing things at Groupon, and you deserve the outside world to give you a second chance. I'm getting in the way of that. A fresh CEO earns you that chance. The board is aligned behind the strategy we've shared over the last few months, and I've never seen you working together more effectively as a global company - it's time to give Groupon a relief valve from the public noise. |
