Re: “Twitter CEO gives up $200M in stock for company employees,” Oct. 25 business news story.
Hats off to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey for relinquishing $200 million of his own personal stock to his employees. While the announcement of layoffs is never a good thing, the CEO’s response should be the standard for all. Nothing is more sickening than to hear of multimillion-dollar bonuses given to CEOs who have run their organizations into the ground. Dorsey’s quote, “I’d rather have a smaller part of something big than a bigger part of something small,” should be on every CEO’s desk in the country. Actions like this keep companies around and people employed for the long haul. (#standupguy)
