I wonder if the crime bosses send out an email saying they take full responsibility for overhiring during boom times.



My fellow Hackiez, you know I've always considered you family.


Mi casa es su casa no more


Yes, but written by ChatGPT.


I tried have it written like a "mafia boss" and "gangster" to "hackers" but ChatGPT did not like that.

Prompt: Write a layoff letter to my penetration tester employees in a heavy Italian accent.

Dear [Employee Name],

It is with a heavy heart that I gotta tell ya that we gotta let you go. It's nothing personal, it's just business, capisce?

I wanna say, youse guys have been great at what you do. You really know how to get into those systems and find all the weak spots. But, unfortunately, things ain't looking too good for our organization right now, and we gotta cut back on some expenses.

I wanna let you know that we appreciate all the hard work you've done for us, and we're gonna make sure youse guys get a decent severance package. We also wanna help you out in finding new job opportunities, so if there's anything we can do to help, just let us know.

Again, I wanna emphasize that it's nothing personal. Youse guys are some of the best in the business, but we gotta do what we gotta do to keep the organization running.

Take care, and good luck with your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]


One has to wonder what "severance package" means in this context.


That looks like a native New York English accent, not an Italian accent.


"Youse guys" ... Philadelphia, please, not New York (though to be fair, that idiom did leak between them.


Just like the regular layoff emails


That would be an improvement


PIP culture could be impactful.


"Unfortunately, high interest rates have reduced our access to capital, and high-risk investments are among the worst affected."
