上周三,赛富时联合首席执行官布雷特·泰勒即将卸任的消息传来,这一消息似乎来得太突然,甚至连赛富时旗下Slack的首席执行官以及副手们都感到意外。

《财富》杂志发现,专业聊天服务Slack的首席执行官斯图尔特·巴特菲尔德在发给员工的内部信息中称,泰勒离职会带来负面影响,未来发展不可预测。巴特菲尔德写道:“布雷特离开赛富时的消息让我很难过。这绝不是一件好事,我也不打算把这件事说成是一件好事。”

在这则消息中,巴特菲尔德直言不讳,盛赞泰勒多年来的辛勤付出,并解释说,他的高管团队甚至被这一消息打了个措手不及。

“我和我的高管团队一整天都在现场,我们也都很惊讶。(这一事实本身不应该太令人惊讶:这一消息会影响市场,因此知情者极少)。”巴特菲尔德写道。

上周四,在泰勒辞职的消息公布后,赛富时的股价在午盘交易中下跌了约10%。泰勒辞职的消息是与赛富时季度财报同时公布的。

泰勒将在赛富时工作到1月底,此后他将离开公司和董事会,专注于一个"创业"项目,该项目未做明确说明。

泰勒在与赛富时创始人兼联合首席执行官马克·贝尼奥夫(Marc Benioff)一起担任联合首席执行官仅一年之后离开。周三,贝尼奥夫在接受美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)记者吉姆·克莱默(Jim Cramer)采访时,将泰勒的离开形容为对公司的“沉重一击”。

软件企业家巴特菲尔德创立了Slack,并于去年以277亿美元的价格将其卖给了赛富时。巴特菲尔德在他的内部消息中表示,在得知领导层变动的消息后,Slack的高管团队不得不“停下来喝一杯,表示同情”。但他强调,Slack的计划不会改变。

巴特菲尔德还赞扬了泰勒的领导能力,无论是在赛富时,还是他之前担任推特公司董事长期间,泰勒都展现了自己卓越的领导才能。在泰勒担任推特公司董事长期间,埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)提出收购这家社交网络公司,引发混乱。

巴特菲尔德写道:“作为推特公司董事会主席,他还必须处理推特的疯狂局面,这一点尤其令人印象深刻。那家伙面对混乱局面能镇定自若、泰然处之,还能持之以恒,真是令人羡慕。”

Wednesday’s news that Salesforce co-CEO Bret Taylor is stepping down appears to have been so sudden that even the CEO of Salesforce-owned Slack, and his circle of lieutenants, were taken by surprise.

Stewart Butterfield, CEO of professional chat service Slack, described Taylor’s departure as a negative and unforeseen development in an internal message to employees viewed by Fortune. “I’m sad about the news of Bret’s departure from Salesforce,” Butterfield wrote. “No way to spin this as a good thing, so I’m not going to try that.”

In the candid message, Butterfield gave accolades to Taylor’s years of hard work at Salesforce and explained that his executive team was even caught off guard by the announcement.

“I’ve been in an on-site with my exec team all day, and we were all surprised too. (That fact should not itself be too surprising: This is market-moving news, and therefore the group in the know was extremely small),” Butterfield wrote.

Salesforce shares were down roughly 10% in midday trading on Thursday, following the news of Taylor’s resignation, which was announced in concert with Salesforce’s quarterly earnings.

Taylor will remain at Salesforce through the end of January, after which he will leave the company and its board to focus on an unspecified “entrepreneurial” project.

Taylor is leaving after just one year in the co-CEO job alongside Salesforce founder and co-CEO Marc Benioff. In an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Wednesday, Benioff characterized Taylor’s departure as “a gut punch.”

Butterfield, a software entrepreneur who founded Slack and sold it to Salesforce last year for $27.7 billion, said in his internal note that the Slack executive team had to “pause to have a drink and commiserate” on learning the news about the leadership change. But he stressed that Slack’s plans would not change.

Butterfield also praised Taylor’s leadership, both at Salesforce and in his previous role as chairman of Twitter during Elon Musk’s chaotic takeover of the social networking company.

“It’s especially impressive when you factor in that he also had to deal with the insane bullshit at Twitter as chair of the board,” Butterfield wrote. “That fellow has enviable reserves of equanimity, poise, and patience.”

A Salesforce spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.
