Because
1. Twitter, the core application, is literally a weekend junior dev project. The only engineers on the payroll who provide actual value, out of THOUSANDS, are those who scale the application and infrastructure. The vast majority of these people have been paid huge comp packages for doing effectively nothing. Sure, there are auxilliary applications like the ad platform, business intelligence, etc, but there is no world in which you need the enormous engineering staff they have to build or run these. Most of these people are useless.
2. Twitter employees have been complicit in curbing free speech, in a highly partisan manner, for years now.

I suspect that if you provide actual, tangible value and you're not actively silencing people for using the wrong pronouns, you'll be safe.
- Ancalagon 4y agoHow is broadly laying off 25% of the org ever going to have the precision of pointed firings for excessive pronoun use? Even real-value is hard to measure at that scale.
- yupper32 4y agoCalling their ad platform "auxiliary" when it's their core business is hilarious. You are completely out of your element here.
