Take this: You take over a company that was full of bad behaving managers and employees. The previous CEO supported this situation. The new CEO who bought the company need to quickly turn the ship around. Severance, bonus payouts? Yes, if the staff you take over was really good and they deserve it. Is it the same case with Twitter? Can we compare Stripe and Twitter on this level?

From a neutral point of view, if the behavior of current employees is the result of the management grooming them to behave like this, is the resulting behavior is employees' fault?

I don't know internals of Twitter. I'm just asking a theoretical question.

Is one week of ownership enough to actually understand this and identify those people?

It seems they had a preconceived notion of how much revenue the business should have per employee, and that’s a key driver of this: https://mobile.twitter.com/sf_mills/status/15758387853712220...
