I have no idea if Twitter was overstaffed or full of bullshit jobs, but this doesn't exactly prove anything. You could eliminate the majority or maybe even the entirety of things like maintenance staff and researchers from plenty of organizations and not see any short-term decline. That doesn't mean they weren't needed. There's also jobs that you know will be needed at some point but not when. This includes obvious things like first responders. Get rid of the fire department and you'll be fine until there's a fire. It includes less obvious things like the mid-career officer bloat in the military, which is there because the military intentionally overstaffs and trains people to do other jobs in case of mass casualty events in which it becomes necessary to immediately move a bunch of people into different jobs.
