What was said

""Hey, if you're tired after working really hard, if you're someone who joined during this period thinking you're going to go work at Adobe and actually the startup thing is not for you, like please know, we're going to be working very hard, hustling hard, and no shame like we're still on good terms. If you want to leave, here is a few months pay.""

Dylan Field says that after the planned Adobe acquisition ended, he told Figma staff who did not want the pace of an independent company they could leave with a few months’ pay. He adds that only a small percentage took the offer and that he saw the departures as healthy.
