I don't have any special love for Shopify, but I think this is one of the best and most empathetic lay-off messages I've seen. No businessspeak, no buzzwords, no nonsense about great journeys. Total clarity about what's going to happen. Very generous and thought-through benefit package that protects those who are leaving.
Now, just don't tie those benefits to an NDA, and you'll truly be a company I'd look forward to getting fired from, Shopify.
