- Junior Twitter employees have been left in charge of areas they haven't worked on before, per NYT.
- Twitter's workforce is about a quarter of the size that it was before Elon Musk took over.
Elon Musk's cost-cutting layoffs at Twitter mean that some junior employees have been left in charge of areas they're unfamiliar with, therefore increasing the likelihood of outages, $4.
At least 200 employees were let go over the weekend, $4, leaving Twitter with around a quarter of the 7,500 staff it had before Musk took over last October. That means Twitter now has less staff than the 2,700 it had when it went public in 2013.
Those caught up in the latest round of Twitter layoffs include top managers like $4 who was among a small number of senior staff from "Twitter 1.0" to strongly back Musk's leadership, and who went viral $4
Twitter staff changes also mean it is without a permanent head of global infrastructure, the Times reported, after Musk's chosen replacement — a Tesla engineer — resigned in January.
The Times report cites unnamed current and former staff as saying there is a lack of clear leadership internally at Twitter since the layoffs, with some junior staffers overseeing products and services that haven't touched before.
Having less experienced staff means that errors may be more likely, and a reduced workforce means it can take longer to figure out any problems and get the service back online.

Last month, $4 when users were wrongly told they were over their daily tweet limit. According to $4 an $4 and the team responsible for the service had all left the company in November.
Another temporary outage occurred when an engineer rolled out a change without testing it first, which was the previous practice, per the Times. Nearly a thousand users also reported problems with $4
There was a further problem on Wednesday morning, where users' feeds were briefly replaced with a welcome page which implied they didn't follow anyone, with over 5,000 reports submitted on $4
The latest layoffs were conducted with the help of $4, per Platformer. The tech newsletter also reported that Davis has been sleeping at the social-media company's San Francisco office along with his partner and their newborn baby.
