> How does Snapchat have 4x the employees that twitter has?

This seems absurd for the size of snap, they are involved with hardware so theres headcount there for that, twitter is all software. $500M seems about right, given that that would amount to 6400 employees getting cut thats an average of $78,125 per employee which seems a bit low but they are based in socal and engineer salaries are lower there than the bay area. I hope these folks find new jobs quickly thats alot of people out of work all at once.
