Twitter has laid off 8% of its employees

Twitter has cut off 336 staff members, the cut was majorly from product and engineering teams,

Is this actually necessary?
is this Dorsey's first major action as CEO?
is it what the management is to be concerned with?

I know these questions and many more should be running through your mind as well


 

An email sent to employees with subject line "a more focused Twitter," Dorsey said the layoffs will be difficult, but they will "put our company on a stronger path to grow."
"This isn't easy. But it is right," Dorsey said. "The world needs a strong Twitter, and this is another step to get there."
Dorsey argued that cutting positions will make the team engineering #tech30 team"nimbler" -- while still remaining Twitter's largest group of employees.

Dorsey did not say exactly what the leaner company's new priorities will be, but he mentioned that the firm's executive team is working on a "streamlined roadmap" for Twitter, Vine and Periscope that will focus on "the experiences which will have the greatest impact."
As an example of those high-impact experiences, Dorsey pointed to Twitter's new newsfeed-like "Moments" feature. He called Moments "a great beginning, and a bold peek into the future of how people will see what's going on in the world."
