MEMORANDUM

To: All Media Sphere PR employees

From: Ian

Date: Mar $18,2024$

Subject: Office Move Update $($Brace Yourselves, It's Not Good News$)$

Hey guys $-$ Nobody enjoys delivering bad news, least of all me$.$ But here it is: you know how we've all been excited to relocate to the shiny new office space in Skyline Tower by the end of August? Well... the construction company decided to pull a fast one. Delays, folks. Delays... Some combo of a labour shortage and needing to get permits... Now, before everyone starts freaking $-$ I know you were excited about the shorter commute and ergonomic desk setups, I want to be clear: the move is still happening. Eventually. Just not anytime soon. I know, I know $-$ this throws a wrench in things. But remember$-$ deadlines don't wait for fancy new furniture or panoramic city views, okay? So you've gotta keep the work flowing from your oh$-$socharming beige cubicles. I'll let you know when we have a more concrete move$-$in date. Don't hold your breath though.... It might not be until next year. In the meantime, if anyone stumbles across a sale for patio furniture, do me a solid and send it my way $-$ the wife and I are redoing our backyard starting next week. Thanks team.
