Personal anecdotes from any big company :)

There's a second layer to the tragedy. Also applicable to any big company:

- many teams are overstaffed for what they do/produce

- many teams are understaffed for what they do/produce

And this is also true at the same time.

Yeah, this is closer to the mark for me. It's been some years since I worked at Twitter, but if I had been suddenly made CEO, I wouldn't have gone on a mass firing spree. I would have tried to figure out how to more effectively use the people that Twitter had. As with many big companies, I suspect the problem is much more bad management than bad workers.
