各位同事們：

今年春季我決定加入這家公司，因為字節跳動是一家非常獨特的公司。加入公司也讓我有機會在一家改變全球互聯網格局的公司中發揮領導作用。自從入職以來，團隊和公司給我留下了異常深刻的印象。

但是，在最近幾週，由於外界環境的劇烈變化，我深刻反思了公司會發生怎樣的集團結構性變化，以及這些變化對我的個人職責到底意味著什麼。在這種背景下，以及在我們大家都希望盡快找到一個解決方案的時候，我懷著十分沉重的心情告訴各位，我已經決定辭職。

我想澄清的是，我的這個決定和公司、和我對公司未來的看法以及我對我們工作的信心，沒有任何關係。一鳴（張一鳴）理解我的決定，我也非常感謝他的支持和理解。

當我們展望公司下一階段發展時，毫無疑問，前途是一片光明的。對我們的用戶而言，任何可能的結構性變化都不應影響他們的體驗。我也堅信，我們的社區會變得比以前更有創造力、更加多樣化。我們的平台會一如既往地為我們的全球社區提供非凡的體驗。同樣地，從員工的角度而言，我也深信，大多數工作都不會有改變。

與此同時，我也知道，我的職責包括在全球範圍內運營管理TikTok。但是，隨著TikTok美國業務的剝離，未來我的職責將發生很大變化。我一直專注於全球化工作，帶領一支全球化團隊（包括TikTok美國團隊），這個機會深深地吸引著我。

好消息是，在我離開後，瓦納沙將擔任TikTok全球的臨時CEO，管理TikTok的團隊。她才華橫溢，無所畏懼地領導著美國的業務，並且深得我們的員工、創作者、用戶和合作夥伴的信任。我非常榮幸在過去能有機會和她合作，也祝她未來更加成功。

儘管我加入公司的時間不長，但我無比敬佩我們團隊的熱情和奉獻精神，尤其是在我們面臨諸多批評的情況下。和這個領域的其他所有公司一樣，我們也面臨各樣的挑戰。但我充滿信心，我們擁有世界一流的安全團隊，保障平台用戶的安全；我們也擁有出色的全球團隊，塑造出這樣一個獨特、富有創意和充滿包容的平台。

感謝各位在此期間的付出。在我內心深處，我永遠是字節跳動大家庭的一員，時時刻刻為大家加油鼓氣。

真誠的，

凱文

Colleagues,

I decided to join this company this spring because ByteDance is utterly unique and it offered the OPPO rtunity to play a leadership role in a company that is changing the global internet landscape. Since joining, I have been incredibly impressed with the team and the company.

In recent weeks, as the political environment has sharply changed, I have done significant reflection on what the corporate structural changes will require, and what it means for the global role I signed up for. Against this backdrop, and as we expect to reach a resolution very soon, it is with a heavy heart that I wanted to let you all know that I have decided to leave the company.

I want to be clear that this decision has nothing to do with the company, what I see for our future, or the belief I have in what we are building. Yiming understands my decision and I thank him for his support on this.

As we look to the next phase of this company, there is no doubt that the future is incredibly bright. For our users, any potential structural changes should not affect their experience, and I strongly believe that our community will be more creative and diverse than ever. The platform will continue to provide our global community an amazing and integrated experience as it does today. Similarly, from an employee perspective, I believe that the vast majority of work will be unchanged.

At the same time, I understand that the role that I signed up for–including running TikTok globally–will look very different as a result of the US Administration’s action to push for a sell off of the US business. I’ve always been globally focused in my work, and leading a global team that includes TikTok US was a big draw for me.

The great news is that the TikTok team will be in the incredibly capable hands of Vanessa, who will serve as interim head for TikTok globally. She has fearlessly led operations in the US, and won the trust of our employees, creators, users, and partners. I am extremely grateful for the time that I was able to work with her and wish her success.

In my short time here, I have been amazed at the passion and dedication of our teams, particularly given the political criticism that we have faced. Like all companies in our space, we face challenges, but I have tremendous confidence that we have a world -class security team in place working to make people on our platform safe, and an amazing global team that makes this such a unique, creative, and inclusive platform.

Thank you for all of your work during this period, and at heart I will always be a member of the ByteDance team, rooting for all of you.

Sincerely,

Kevin
