       @lauren I don't work in tech, but I am genuinely curious what this kind of cuts does to staff and also how many people he can cut after this latest round.We know that Twitter quality is compromised. Surely this will just exacerbate the slide?Is the equilibrium state where twitter becomes a much smaller app with a very diminished user base that only niche players use but can't grow beyond that?

       @RoboGorillaman Without having access to Twitter internal data that I obviously do not have access to, I cannot realistically answer that question to any degree of specificity!

       @lauren You say "current workforce" I say "remaining workforce".  I guess there's still a percentage who can't be fired and won't walk, I wonder what the over/under is on that line....

       @infinite_loopy That's not my choice of wording, but indeed the current workforce == remaining workforce.

       @lauren  Apologies if I sounded like I expected you to have an answer. It is simply mind boggling, even from a neutral perspective, how this thing is such a sh*tshow.I mean the guy is causing harm to his own company and investment, and his employees are taking the hits because of their boss' actions. I cannot process this.

       @RoboGorillaman It's just that based on what we can see, everything is really just speculation.
