On: Twitter Expected to Begin Layoffs and Stop Headquarters Expansion

[scurvy]

Not trying to be snarky, but when have you ever seen a company do "surgical" layoffs? Anything across the board is not surgical by definition. This is just a plain, simple RIF to stem the losses. There's nothing surgical about it. Surgical would imply killing off specific teams and products. This is across the board.

Perhaps I missed it but no where did I see any specific mention that this was either surgical or across the board. Care to elaborate? If they didn't specify it certain could go either way.

Earlier reports said 10% across the board.

Non-surgical layoffs suggests there is no change in product strategy and that fewer people will be expected to do the same amount of work.

So how did Twitter decide who is in that 10%? Was it by seniority?
