Surely it would have been more remarkable if a company lays off 3,700 employees and exactly zero mistakes are made. A company like Twitter is impossibly complex, and it's very likely that some number of people are legitimately important, but their importance cannot be seen from a top-down view.

I see it as a healthy sign that Twitter management are rapidly identifying and rectifying any missteps.
