Team, We're cutting 336 people from our workforce to strengthen the company. We are deciding how to streamline Twitter, Vine, and Periscope to focus on projects with the greatest impact. Moments, which we launched last week, is a great beginning. It's a peek into the future of discovery. We'll offer each person a generous exit package and help finding a new job. Engineering will be smaller but remain the biggest percentage of the organization, and other departments will be cut in parallel. Thank you all for everything. As always, please reach out to me directly with anything.

  Team, 336 people will be fired. We hope it brings our stock price back up. Jack

    This is like corporate email golfing, I love it. I propose "Hey" instead of "Team".

        at least make it rhyme! Hey, Stock in the dumps, firing 336 chumps. Jack

      In this particular example, whats important is keeping the character count under 140, so your proposal wins 1 point. (insert golf clap). I will see your "Hey", and counter propose "Yo". That frees up two characters for use elsewhere vs the original "Team".
