Twitter’s Biggest Rats Are Jumping Ship, Signs Of Inevitable Capsizing?

It would seem that Twitter is shedding executives faster than cats shed fur during the summer, with the latest departure of its chief technology officer and vice president of products. Both Adam Messinger and Josh McFarland made separate announcements that they would be stepping down from the embattled company. Their departure follows Adam Bain, Twitter’s COO’s decision to leave before the social media giant comes crumbling down.

Messinger is a five-year veteran at Twitter, while McFarland had only been with the company for two years, Forbes reports. Even so, the two held important positions at the social media site, which made them indispensable. Many are taking their departure as a sign that Twitter is now going down a spiral of destruction that it is not going to be coming back from, especially with its position in the stock market getting worse by the day.

There has been no information with regards to Messinger’s future job prospects, only that he will be taking some time off. On the other hand, McFarland has already found a new home at Greylock Partners, an investment firm where he will be one of the investors.

On that note, it’s not as if the departure of these top executives are going to halt all progress at Twitter and stop business altogether. As TechCrunch notes, both Messinger and McFarland’s positions are already in the hands of temporary leaders, much like how Anthony Noto took over for Bain when he left last month.

Even so, with the current chaos that is engulfing the top ranks at the social media site, it’s only to be expected that trouble would also come trickling down to the lower tier of the company pool. If Twitter can’t get a handle on this situation soon, it will be in an even worse position than it already is.
