There's no doubt that Twitter could be leaner than it was as of September, but haphazardly firing employees at random and alienating the most employable of the remainder into resignation is not the way to go about it. He could have spent a few months getting to know the place, but deliberately chose not to.

- wwkeyboard 4y agoExactly, go to your 25 year old HotMail account and open the spam folder. That's what they've been fighting.
- Terretta 4y agoNot if all few million people live in the same few variants of one apartment, and the same cleanup cleaned all of them. TBC, talking about the code part. There's another Twitter, which is not code, but guest and resident services. Your example holds there.

- kibwen 4y agoWhatsApp is (was) an instant messenger, not an ad-supported media company.
- uxcolumbo 4y agoDid Whatsapp serve ads? Did it have to moderate content? Twitter is vastly more complex than Whatsapp when it comes to functionality and platforms it had to support.
- lesuorac 4y agoWhatsApp didn't get to 55 employees by having 2000 and then randomly firing 97% of them. The argument is not that twitter can't be ran leaner, it's that the current process of leaning twitter is bad.
