Twitter to cut 8% of workforce, refocus under CEO Dorsey

San Francisco

TWITTER said on Tuesday it was slashing 8 per cent of its workforce as newly returned chief executive Jack Dorsey outlined his "roadmap" to boost users and revenues at the money-losing messaging platform.

The cuts - which amount to 336 jobs - come less than a week after Mr Dorsey, one of the founders of Twitter, returned to the job of CEO on a permanent basis as part of an effort to revive growth.
