#22Why not do something less humiliating and just go back out to the market for new engineers under a banner like "Twitter looking for a new breed of engineers to build fresh original capabilities" Or something...
They probably want submissive workers that just do what they are told and are easily exploited. It might be a good strategy if you want loyal yes-men and get rid of those skeptical of Elon.

#23Surely 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.

And that's precisely why you take care in making decisions (like layoffs) and understand the business landscape (advertising), instead of shooting from the hip and surrounding yourself with yes-men.
