How can a company such as Twitter survive even after such a huge percentage of its workforce has been fired?
In: 1
To add more to the comments already shared, Twitter is breaking with every new feature. The site is constantly going down. Because the various SOPs put in place are ignored, and teams responsible for certain things no longer exist.
To use a ELI5 example:
Imagine you had a team of experts to build a house. One expert handles the electrical wiring. One expert handles the structure. One expert handles the plumbing. Etc.
Well you decide to fire everyone except the interior designer. Well, they been with the team for decades, and knows what a house “looks like”. Well, they’re wiring power and are definitely not familiar with the details of grounding properly. But power is flowing so maybe it’s right. They set up the plumbing and toilets are flushing so maybe it’s right. And you know, why did the structural engineer always do a specific pattern? Well they aren’t here to explain so let’s do it my way. Roof holds up but leans a bit.
Anyways, here’s your house! It’s functioning. Power exists. Toilets flush. Walls are kinda holding up.
So officially, things are working from the outside view.
But we know the truth. This house is a death trap. We see the faults. We don’t want things to fail. But every time someone points out a flaw, a stupid rich baby calls them a jackass.
So most of us has given up and now are enjoying the popcorn.
