The Radical Transparency Town Hall Script

Recommended Spoken Script
"Due to macroeconomic headwinds and rising operational costs, we are pausing our corporate 401k employer match starting May 1st to avoid workforce reductions. We know this directly affects your household finances, and we are committed to reinstating the match as soon as quarterly operating margin recovers to 15%."
