"I regret hiring most of you." basically. Not the best wording. He should have said he failed to grow revenue and the macro-economy wasn't as expected.

"I regret hiring most of you." basically.
Not the best wording.
He should have said he failed to grow revenue and the macro-economy wasn't as expected.
- ALittleLight 4y agoI think he should've said whatever he believes is the truth. I have no idea if he did or didn't do that though.
- ergocoder 4y ago> I think he should've said whatever he believes is the truth. Not really. If your words would hurt other feelings with no upside, it's better left unsaid. In this case, his words can be interpreted in a bad way easily. The bar for good and unambiguous communication for a 7000-company CEO is very high.
- johanvts 4y agoEven if you believe that premise, it seems there might be a lot of if upside in knowing the truth here.
- ALittleLight 4y agoWe should not be so sensitive as a society that we expect people in powerful and significant positions to conceal truths to protect feelings. Dorsey is, possibly, giving a candid thought on a major American company that he has unique insight into - that's worthwhile. If Dorsey was ranking employees by the pleasantness of their odor or by how attractive he personally found them - I'd agree. No value, even if true, it could hurt feelings and you shouldn't say it. That's not what this is though.
- ergocoder 4y agoI disagree. I expect more from a CEO of a billion dollar company to communicate more precisely.
- ALittleLight 4y agoBut you are saying he should say something different. If Dorsey believes he hired too quickly he should say simply that.
- googlryas 4y agoSaying he didn't have a good plan for their labor doesn't mean they're not worthwhile or bad employees.
- ergocoder 4y agoYour interpretation could be valid too. The other equally valid interpretation: It would have been better for twitter and him if he didn't hire those employees.
