which means the employees aren't monitored closely by upper management then? I don't see why it's "bad".
The only thing i can think of being bad is micromanagement, and inadequate compensation. I dont know how twitter compensates their employees, but i'm sure it's not inadequate.
I've was at a company that had an absentee CEO. One who would swoop in every few months and make strong declarations about direction, product, and so on; but was otherwise never there. It was a nightmare. We suffered constantly from his eccentrics, it constantly hurt our product, and destroyed morale and the ability to feel like you had no power over your work.
