Why do you feel that the expected outcome of being critical is being punished instead of addressing the root causes of these issues? I mean how do you expect problems to be pointed out and addressed?

Apparently, at Twitter, you don't.

Twitter is itching to shed people any way they can, so the problem lies elsewhere.

Most companies I have worked for have a means to point out problems in an internal non-public manner. Once you bypass those to go public you generally lose the trust of your employer. Why would you employ someone you can no longer trust?
Is the status quo today akin to the story of The Emperor's New Clothes?
