What struck me about the memo, is the constant references to 'the problem', without ever defining what the actual problem was. People not working long hours might be a symptom of a problem, but it is not a problem in and of itself.

You ask how we'd tackle the problem, but I don't know how anyone can answer that without knowing what the problem actually is.

This might have been communicated, or evident, outside of this memo, but it sounds like he's trying to fix a problem that doesn't necessarily exist, based on questionable metrics.

Or what's far more likely is that there was a problem that did exist, we just don't know what it was or the context because only got this one memo.
