Also: CEO tweets sorrow over laying off 87 workers from the ‘Cameo Fameo.’
Hello, communicators:
Stephen Galanis, CEO of celebrity video company Cameo, tweeted out some unfortunate news Wednesday: The company had to lay off 87 workers.
But he included a curious term in the announcement — he called his staff, including those who had just lost their jobs, “Cameo Fameo.”
Today has been a brutal day at the office. I made the painful decision to let go of 87 beloved members of the Cameo Fameo. If you’re looking to hire hungry, humble, smart, kind, curious, learning machines who love to win – and you see Cameo on their resume – look no further.

Some Twitter users mocked his use of the term, especially given the serious tone of the rest of the message.

If I worked somewhere that laid me off and referred to me as part of the “Fameo” I think I might be too crestfallen to ever work again. https://t.co/udL8AOpCXo
