Jack Dorsey is planning is planning company-wide layoffs next week, sources say. It’s unclear how much of the staff will be let go from Twitter but some said the focus will be on engineers. It is believed the firings will fall across all departments. Remarkably, Twitter has about 4,100 employees, more than double the roughly 2,000 employees it had in 2013 just before its IPO.
TWITTER TWERPS
Twitter’s user base has grown less than 50 percent in that time. The reorg also aligns with what Dorsey has been preaching for the last four months: That Twitter needs to be more focused — easier to use. It would be nice if they could blow away the angry and abusive Twitter twerps too. Just saying.
