Hi, hello, Mr. Burns.

EIC of Lake Erie College here and I would like some answers, as would most of the EIC's you have employed for you right now.

First I want to thank you for teaching me (through my amazing ME) how to use my voice to produce a change. I understand that the recent change in corporate Odyssey more than likely had to happen, being the finance major that I am, I get it. Business is business. But that isn't going to stop me from using the voice that you so cleverly gave me.

You see, when my ME, Sami, told our group of EIC's that she was leaving, the reactions were a mix of anger and tears. As the day progressed we turned to reminiscing on all the things we loved about our time together. We talked about how much of a friend and mentor she was to us. I can honestly say the community Sami provided us with is more than a team of EIC's. We care about each other and we share literally everything about our lives. We are family. Eventually we turned to Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram in an attempt to protest. We used our sources to make a change, much like we were taught through Odyssey.

I hope this lay off was for the best, I really do. I We would like some insight. What is going to happen to the small communities? Where is Odyssey going? Are you taking a pay cut as well? How about your CFO, what does he have to say about the situation? Can I have a video call with you to get some answers? Can you do another Reddit: ask me anything? I know these are tough questions, but they are certainly legit. As an employee, I would love to know if my future with your company is going to be cut short.

If you read this I hope you respond in any way. I would love assurance that this was for the best, I really want to understand.

Sincerely,

Every EIC, ME, and Creator employed by well, you.
