For perspective, the staff in 2018 was 3700. Now maybe 2700.

Of course, if you were vital to Twitter, then you likely left before he took over.

Because you could. Plenty of people would rather have severance.

I base this on experience. I was a consultant so I did what all good consultants do when holding together a sinking ship: I doubled my rates. Twice.

They had ~2900 before the ultimatum with severance. I'd guess they have less than 2k now if not 1k

Staffing count != properly staffed

[sroussey]

Absolutely. Also even if the staffing count is good, the mix between departments may be bad.
