He deserves a lot of blame for not standing up for his former team when they were treated so poorly during the transition.

Firing people is normal. Doing it in an arbitrarily cruel way is not.

What could he have done?

The company was taken private and the new owner started burning the place down to rebuild it in the image of a golden cow or something.

I guess he could have tweeted for mercy.

the team was paid salary for the term of their contributions PLUS severance. let’s also add proceeds from the stock sale.

are you really saying they’re owed something more by the owners of the company?

Looks like they only ended up with one month pay as severance. Not great… Source: https://fortune.com/2023/01/07/twitter-employees-laid-off-el...
