AUSTIN, TX—Seeking to provide encouragement to his employees and motivate them to succeed, local CEO Steve Colton sent a company-wide email Thursday that reportedly inspired the staff of tech firm Edgeworth Solutions to start looking for another place to work.
“I’d been feeling disillusioned with my job for quite a while, but now that I’ve read our CEO’s vision for addressing the challenges this company faces, I’ve realized I just need to work hard on finding a position somewhere else,” Rebecca Mazin, 35, said of the 500-word message that urged employees to maintain a strong work ethic and continue growing the company despite a lack of any opportunity for promotions or raises.
