As reported by Bloomberg, the plans have not been fixed, however, Twitter’s stock price fell to near its lowest level this year despite it garnering 313 million more active users or up 3 percent from last year.

Twitter will reportedly officially announce the job cuts prior to releasing its third quarter earnings on Thursday. (wir/kes)
