I don't see more empathy from Stripe. And since no one has come out of the process of mass layoffs yet, we don't know if Twitter isn't going to provide severance and bonus payouts and etc.

On the other hand, Stripe was much more productive and is workforce wasn't so inflated.



I was thinking it over, and one way Stripe nailed Twitter is communication. Stripe’s severance was clearly communicated up front. Twitter’s leadership is like the proverbial headless chicken.

It’s quite the contrast. I think there’s a lesson here. A well-drafted email could’ve saved twitter a lot of heartache.

Then again, maybe the email drafter got laid off too.


Stripe had 3x the staff of Adyen doing the same revenue
