1. Maya, did you just see the CEO play my private voice memo?
2. What memo, Alex?
3. The one where I named people and predicted the layoffs.
4. Oh my god I'm at the party and it's blasting on stage.
5. He literally called it 'authentic employee voice' and played it.
6. They're showing it on every screen and everyone's watching.
7. Delete any videos you took, don't upload or share anything anywhere.
8. I didn't film; security's livestream is already getting clipped everywhere.

10. You sent it to me after the May planning call, remember?
11. I sent it to you privately for advice, not for this.
12. I never forwarded it, I swear, but he called me this morning.
13. He called you about my memo?
14. Yes, he said 'help me make layoffs look authentic' on the call.
