Eternal received over 8,000 emails in the past week, with ~4,000 from former employees.
Founder Deepinder Goyal said the emails are deeply personal, full of emotions and honesty.
Goyal noted that current team members may lack context about employees who left 5, 10, or 15 years ago.
He said it is not humanly possible to read 8,000 emails and respond quickly.
Goyal is the only person who can fully contextualize many of the messages.
The team is reviewing each email, and the process will take time.
Goyal told former employees who worked directly with him to find his number and WhatsApp him for a quicker reply.
He publicly invited former employees to return to Eternal and its broader group.
