Mike Jones? Kiss-Off Letter To Laid Off MySpacers: ?We Can?t Continue On This Journey Together?

Whenever a company lays off 500 people, as MySpace did earlier this week when it gave half its employees walking papers, it generates quite a bit of anger and bitterness. The latest tip in our inbox from a dispirited former employee goes into a details about do-nothing managers who still have their jobs while all their underlings are now unemployed.

I won't repeat the character assassinations here, but the former MySpacer did include something else I will share: The kiss-off letter from CEO Mike Jones. "He didn't even take the time to personally sign the letters. It's just a xerox copy," laments the former employee. You can read the termination letter below. It is pretty standard, thanking those being laid off for their "dedication and commitment to MySpace" especially through its recent relaunch.

This is the part, though that must really rankle:
