What Crawford said about being fired

Crawford confirmed the company’s decision and defended his position: “The worst reading you could make of me going all-in on Twitter 2.0 is that my optimism or hard work was a mistake.”.

“Those who jeer and jeer are necessarily on the sidelines and not on the battlefield. I am deeply proud of my team for being able to build through all the noise and chaos.”.

Later, the former Twitter executive faced the comments that her dismissal generated: “If you can’t stand being dumped on you publicly, make sure you avoid taking risks and steer clear of leadership roles. Don’t build or change anything. Stay small and invisible and, above all, silent and fearing what others think.”.

The firing of Esther Crawford follows a huge wave of layoffs at Twitter, which is only keeping 10 per cent of the employees it had before Elon Musk’s arrival and is also facing financial problems over the layoffs of many major advertisers.
