I wouldn’t be surprised to see several more rounds of RIFs across the tech sphere as executives realize how many useless or redundant positions get created over the years. This is just good old fashion capitalism. A company with the reach of Twitter would be eviscerated in the markets if they did nothing to expand their userbase. Also, even if they completely froze new feature releases, they'd still need a ton of people to test for bugs and exploits, release patches, test those patches, and fix the bugs that come up from those exploits being shut down. All while supporting existing customers and they're userbase in different regions and languages. Not too mention content moderators, which none of these social media companies employ nearly enough of. Even then, Twitter gets to be smaller than like Facebook or Google or Amazon or Apple or Microsoft since those companies host their own data and need to manage redundant datacenters all across the planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 And also just lots of projects, and different facets of the business many of which are getting cut by the big tech firms because money isn’t as cheap now and they aren’t core to the business actually making money. from the outside it’s easy to wonder what all these people do all day, but working in an analytics and reporting department just for incoming/new clients it’s amazing what we’re able to get done with the people we have (not big tech), and that’s with us mostly just reusing many reports because we’re bringing on companies who do the same type of work!

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Let's see how Mr. Free Speech handles this one! China's CCP warns Elon Musk against sharing Wuhan lab leak report WWW.CNBC.COM Chinese state media warned Tesla CEO Elon Musk that he could be endangering his relationship with China after Musk shared tweets about a Wuhan laboratory. Quote A Chinese state-run newspaper issued a warning to Tesla CEO Elon Musk after he shared reporting on the U.S. Department of Energy’s “low confidence” assessment that the global Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan laboratory. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon reported Tuesday morning on the warning from the social media pages of the Global Times, the English-language subsidiary of the CCP-controlled People’s Daily. The Global Times warned Musk that he could be “breaking the pot of China” after the Tesla and Twitter CEO responded to tweets that asserted that the Covid pandemic originated in a Wuhan research laboratory.

chakoo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I've been a bit lazy to post this but... yeah sounds like things are going great... Twitter's mass layoffs mean some junior employees are in charge of areas they've never worked on before, report says WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.IN Twitter's workforce is about a quarter of the size it was before Elon Musk took over last October, with just over 2,000 staff remaining. Reading people talk about their twitter experience recently on resetera, sounds like stability is really starting to degrade rapidly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
