各位同事们：

今年春季我决定加入这家公司，因为字节跳动是一家非常独特的公司。加入公司也让我有机会在一家改变全球互联网格局的公司中发挥领导作用。自从入职以来，团队和公司给我留下了异常深刻的印象。

但是，在最近几周，由于外界环境的剧烈变化，我深刻反思了公司会发生怎样的集团结构性变化，以及这些变化对我的个人职责到底意味着什么。在这种背景下，以及在我们大家都希望尽快找到一个解决方案的时候，我怀着十分沉重的心情告诉各位，我已经决定辞职。

我想澄清的是，我的这个决定和公司、和我对公司未来的看法以及我对我们工作的信心，没有任何关系。一鸣（张一鸣）理解我的决定，我也非常感谢他的支持和理解。

当我们展望公司下一阶段发展时，毫无疑问，前途是一片光明的。对我们的用户而言，任何可能的结构性变化都不应影响他们的体验。我也坚信，我们的社区会变得比以前更有创造力、更加多样化。我们的平台会一如既往地为我们的全球社区提供非凡的体验。同样地，从员工的角度而言，我也深信，大多数工作都不会有改变。

与此同时，我也知道，我的职责包括在全球范围内运营管理TikTok。但是，随着TikTok美国业务的剥离，未来我的职责将发生很大变化。我一直专注于全球化工作，带领一支全球化团队（包括TikTok美国团队），这个机会深深地吸引着我。

好消息是，在我离开后，瓦纳沙将担任TikTok全球的临时CEO，管理TikTok的团队。她才华横溢，无所畏惧地领导着美国的业务，并且深得我们的员工、创作者、用户和合作伙伴的信任。我非常荣幸在过去能有机会和她合作，也祝她未来更加成功。

尽管我加入公司的时间不长，但我无比敬佩我们团队的热情和奉献精神，尤其是在我们面临诸多批评的情况下。和这个领域的其他所有公司一样，我们也面临各样的挑战。但我充满信心，我们拥有世界一流的安全团队，保障平台用户的安全；我们也拥有出色的全球团队，塑造出这样一个独特、富有创意和充满包容的平台。

感谢各位在此期间的付出。在我内心深处，我永远是字节跳动大家庭的一员，时时刻刻为大家加油鼓气。

真诚的，

凯文

Colleagues,

I decided to join this company this spring because ByteDance is utterly unique and it offered the OPPOrtunity 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
