To Jose Tolosa,

We, employees of Meow Wolf, representing departments, titles, and disciplines from across the company, and supporters of Meow Wolf, present this letter as a comprehensive vote of no confidence in your ability to lead this company forward. We have lost faith in your ability to manage Meow Wolf effectively, and demand your immediate resignation.

The financial mismanagement of Meow Wolf under your leadership has been staggering, and we do not believe that your continued tenure as CEO is in the best interests of this company. Under your leadership, Meow Wolf has held multiple rounds of layoffs, attendance has faltered, employee morale has deteriorated, and guest safety has been compromised to an alarming extent.

Decisions at the exhibit level have resulted in fewer employees monitoring guest experience, leading to shocking health and safety incidents. Our exhibits are in noticeable disrepair. Our fans have noticed, and openly discuss it. Losing that base will only further erode our ability to grow.

At the Corporate level, you have created a top-heavy structure that threatens the ability of teams to successfully build our current and future exhibitions. We have a large number of Vice Presidents, Chief Officers, and other poorly defined management positions that do not offer any measurable value, and instead have created a morass of indecision and wasted budget. Meanwhile, the number of people executing work has stagnated, and their institutional knowledge is routinely dismissed. As a result, projects have fallen behind schedule, or have been unceremoniously canceled, resulting in dozens if not hundreds of wasted hours of employees’ time.

Furthermore, Meow Wolf’s dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has eroded under your tenure as CEO. Pay disparity between genders and race has persisted. Casual misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia have not been addressed. This has led to internal and external skepticism about Meow Wolf’s commitment to our stated purpose of Passion for Community, Earth in Balance, Embracing Belonging, and most of all, Supporting Shrimps. Under your leadership, this company has suffered from a lack of vision, a lack of curiosity, a lack of accountability, and a lack of understanding of what Meow Wolf is and means.

We believe that you have created a climate and culture that alienates and lacks respect for individuals. We believe that the best course of action is for Meow Wolf to find a new CEO and new leaders who will repair and rebuild the company in a way that will lead it forward.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned Employees of Meow Wolf
