Half of twitter fired, service still up?

Lucky I left Twitter a few months ago already, but to be honest, knowing what I know…. “Acquire, take a look, stop everything, prioritize, set a quick business plan, take the best team to execute it, get a list of which teams are really needed to keep the lights on, fire the rest, profit” So many lessons for other companies to learn from the new @twitter 💙 tweeps

How was Agrawal and previous leadership so incompetent to hire over 2k excess workforce and didn’t have any layoffs?

Amazon paveldurov Nov 4, 2022

bro that guy was ceo for 2 minutes, he didn’t do shit

They were definitely planning layoffs around this time, maybe not 50% but around 30% or so

Goes to show… The only issue Twitter has now is the people brigading against it who are actively tryna destroy it. And if they succeed, they’ll be like: “see, we told you Musk would fail” 😦🤡

Yes, play a tune for the dead weight that was cut. Also, those people brigading against Twitter aren’t going anywhere. Where else would they voice their stupid ass opinions? Unlike SpaceX, Twitter is not rocket science.

I made a Twitter like a year ago to to tweet Microsoft support because the phone support was stonewalling me. It was much more productive

Twitter has survived for 1.5 hours therefore there will be no negative business impact and Musk is a genius 🙄

Meta 🌊⚠️ Nov 4, 2022

Imagine being the remaining 50% left to clean up after the 50% terminated, taking over projects without a chance to handoff... How many of the surviving 50% were already keen on leaving because of Musk taking over?

worst is still to come, Mudge stuff was just tip of the iceberg, Elon and team are willing to expose everything with internals, everything they were not able to get during trials

VMware 79jfe6j Nov 4, 2022

Really? 50% laid off??

Microsoft KQRg22 Nov 4, 2022

most of those people were probably haning around bullshitting what framework they should use in the next rewrite or similary nonsensical product discussions

Unlike the high quality impactful work you do at Microsoft I guess.
