exodusTWITTER ANNOUNCED ANOTHER major shakeup in an attempt to stop losses and get more people using the service.
Four of the company’s top executives have left the company as part of a major restructure organised by its CEO Jack Dorsey.
Dorsey announced the changes in a tweet, saying he wanted to “set the record straight now”.
Those leaving are engineering head Alex Roetter, human resources head Skip Schipper, media head Katie Stanton, and product head Kevin Weil. Dorsey said that all of the departures were voluntary.
A fifth member, Vine’s head Jason Toff, is also leaving the company and returning to Google where he will work on developing its VR products.
As part of the change, the sections left vacant will now be managed by the company’s COO (Chief Operating Officer) Adam Bain and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Adam Messinger.
As part of the change, The New York Times says it plans to appoint new board members and a “high-profile media personality” as one of its new directors.
It’s the latest change as Dorsey continues a company-wide overhaul which started late last year. Back in October, it announced that 8% or 336 employees from its global staff would be laid off.
At the time, Dorsey said the restructure was to “help put our company on a stronger path” and the company would improve with “a more purpose-built team, which will continue to build strength over time.”

These bands attract a totally different crowd to shm. Oxygen is where the trouble will be happening this year!
Oxygen Ireland’s answer to the hunger games
Ha! :)
Oxegen will be a knife-fest and that is where the license should be refused and its all down to the line up and the crowd they will attract.
No trouble at these gigs cuz the crowd will be asleep or bored to tears..
Haha spot on! Mumford & Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
No crouching tiger hidden naggin then…
Yay time to dust off the wellys , buy 12 cans of dutch gold and order a selection of stanley blade from ebay ….. good times
Off to Oxegen are we??
No electric picnic for that
No trouble at all for the stone roses. Ya would think goin to Swedish house mafia the kids would be taking e. They obviously didn’t hence all the trouble. Security should hand them out at the gate to avoid the trouble.
I assume the new conditions is that the Garda actually do there job?
Where job?
Their??
I was at one of the concerts last year… If I wanted to sneak anything in I could have hid it in my hood or attached to my back under my clothes. There’s no point batting down everywhere else if you’re going to leave two places unchecked. Also, wellies, pretty sure you could hide something there too if you wanted. The security was terrible to say the least.
There was no trouble at the stone roses.
“The Killers”, MCD have a wicked sense of humour.
The biggest problem was transport
The biggest problem was the drunk dirtbags.
Why all the red thumbs? It took me hours to get out of Dublin city centre after the stone roses. Public transport very poor. No taxies picking up anyone from the concert. We weren’t all wasted skangers.
Welcome to Dublin!
I wonder will these new implementations mean ticket prices will be forced to rise for these particular concerts?
If the weather is good a deer roast might be nice.
Ha ha all the old foggies will be shi*ting when they hear the killers are playing
Silencers on guns please , let’s not wake the nearby residents
Swedish House Mafia was a dance gig. Young teenagers listen to that crap. Pills popping concert that was, Mumford & Sons gig will be 10 times better, safety wise, real music and has respectable fans
*Pop gig. It was mainstream adolescent music from start to finish. SHM, Snoop Dog, Tinchy Stryder, Calvin Harris (or something like that).
The promoters set out to attract 1000′s of adolescents to Dublin City and that’s what they got. Which in this country is trouble.
Most of the trouble was outside the event, from what I’d heard. Knacker drinking, fights, mugging, vandalism…etc.
But obviously the main thing was the one maniac that stabbed 9 people and the three people, who were all friends (?) that took bad pills, clearly not really Ecstasy (MDMA).
3 people didn’t die,that’s incorrect info!
Well can you clarify the facts if your going to say they are incorrect , one in his 20s died from an overdose at the gig and his two friends died later that night but it was unclear if they were at gig , the journal reported the 3 deaths the time…what exactly is your point.
There were at least 3 people who didn’t die. I saw them with my own four eyes.
Repeating the same thing twice and expecting a different outcome. That’s a definition of something. Madness!
They’ve been putting concerts there for years. One night, of the 3 last year went sour.
have your say
