We will miss them," it added.Best said that the company is in a fortunate position as it continues to grow its business and revenues."Not so long ago, I told you all that our plan was to grow the team and not do layoffs," he said, noting that the company is "still hiring for specific key roles" and has saved money.Best mentioned that the layoffs are one of several changes the company has made to make sure it is in "a strong financial position"."To the people who left Substack today: thank you.
