Nobody else is cutting 50%, and the twitter severance isn't particularly generous either relative to other layoffs.

The other tech companies are still wildly profitable, Twitter is losing money. The severance is generous relative to company finances I'd say. Heck for some it is more than a Walmart greeter makes in a whole year actually working..

Eventbrite cut 50% during covid btw.

> Twitter is losing money

Most of Twitter's current losses are the interested payment on Musk's leveraged buyout.

> Eventbrite cut 50% during covid btw

I'm shocked that a company whose business plan revolves around groups of people meeting in person had financial trouble during the pandemic.
