1. PURPOSE & STRATEGIC CONTEXT
In an effort to place Twitter on a

of our operational overhead, capital expenditure, and organizational headcounts. Following the company's change in
ownership and transition to private operating status, immediate operational rightsizing is required to ensure company
solvency and long-term vitality.
This memorandum serves as o

50% of the global workforce is impacted by this workforce reduction across product engineering, trust and safety,
policy, communications, and administrative divisions.
