Jack Dorsey became CEO of Twitter in October 2015. The numbers in the article are for all of 2015. Should he have been able to fix the financials in the first three months back as CEO? I feel like I'm missing something.

The general consensus is people need to be laid off to cut costs. He hasn't done that.

He did exactly that last year https://techcrunch.com/2015/10/13/twitter-is-laying-off-8-pe...

And then hired more number than that. Otherwise, the 4K number in twitter employee population would never come.

Having one person be the CEO of two different companies at the same time just feels like an incredibly stupid idea.

Arrogant but necessary. That it's tolerated by investors should give you a sense of how urgent/dire things are.
