The last change is the January 25, 2016 at 18:15.
These are days for blacks Twitter. And the blackout that a few days ago has put the site offline for a few hours seems really the least of the problems. In the last hours, in fact, four top managers have left the company, sparking comments and further fears for investors. So much so that the CEO, Jack Dorsey, had to take the field in person to try to hush the waters. To leave the company based Market Street (San Francisco) were four members of the nine members of the executive team: Brian Schipper, head of human resources; Kevin Weil, head of development and design; Alex Roetter, head of engineering; Katie Jacobs Stanton, head of media relations. A quartet which has added even Sason Toff, one of the managers who are behind Vine (the video platform of Twitter) that announced the company through its own transition to Google.
Dorsey spoke with a long note to clarify that the four were not fired, as they wrote in the beginning some American media, but they left for their choice. The CEO also announced that to fill the roles discovered will now Coo of Twitter, Adam Bain, and the CTO Adam Messinger.
The picture remains emblematic. Twitter is going through a difficult period. Probably the most difficult since, March 21, 2006, at 21:50 Italian twittò Jack Dorsey: “just setting up my twttr” (I am making my Twitter). In recent months, the social network has been in the news for the changes to top management, for the dismissal of 8% of its employees and to the idea of abandoning the limit of 140 characters raising the same or ten thousand. Now the news that four top managers have virtually resigned. And this 2016, that Dorsey had to be the year of change, began in the worst way.
