Twitter’s founder Jack Dorsey took to twitter on saturday and apologized to his former staffs.
“Folks at Twitter past and present are strong and resilient. They will always find a way no matter how difficult the moment. i realize many are angry with me. I own the responsibility for why everyone is in this situation: I grew the company size too quickly. I apologize for that.”
