Changes At Threadless HQ
I just made one of the most difficult decisions in the 13 years since Threadless began. As a result of this decision, I had to let many of my friends and colleagues know that they no longer have a place here working at Threadless.
Over the past few years, we've experimented with new and exciting ways to create meaningful, game-changing opportunities for artists. While some of these initiatives worked really well, others did not. Today, we stop working on some of the projects that weren’t clear winners. We know now where we need to be investing our time and effort, and I believe these are the key projects that will propel Threadless forward.
Looking ahead, we aim to provide the best place in the world for artists to share and monetize their work. We’ve made more progress this year on our platform than we have in many previous years and will continue to raise the bar on creating the best experience possible for artists and their supporters.
Here’s a gigantic thank you to those we've parted ways with today. I know they’ll all go on to do amazing things and I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work at Threadless. On behalf of everyone here at Threadless, I also thank everyone in the community for the continued support. These are the moments that define us and we couldn’t do it without all of you.

Sad to hear that. Seems like you have a tight group there so I'm sure it was especially painful. Best of luck to everyone let go. Threadless has a pretty high profile so it will no doubt help having that on your resume.

All things go.

Dang. Best of luck everyone.

It's a long time since I didn't post works here on Threadless, but I'm very sad to here a thing like that on this beautiful site. So sad about it. I wish to all people involved in this change to find their new own ways quickly and positively.
Bramishxxx
Man, good luck to all of those leaving. And good luck to Jake and Threadless with whatever comes next here.
MadeWithAwesome
Dang. I'd like to muster up something more positive for those that are no longer employed at Threadless, and of course I wish them the best and hope they go on to bigger and better things.....but dang. I honestly don't know how to feel about this right now other than sad. One can only hope in the end this change makes all parties involved stronger.
Kiwihopper
All the best to anyone affected. Really tough decision to make, I'm sure it was for the right reasons.
micheleficeli

Sad news but I can only imagine how hard is to run such a successful business as threadless and since you don't come across as one of those heartless businessman, I can only imagine how tough it was to make that decision. Good luck to the ones that left and to the ones that remained, I'm sure everything will turn out to be just right in the end!
