Co-Founder And Former CEO Jack Dorsey Is Now Working Just One Afternoon A Week At Twitter

Over on his Tumblr blog, Twitter co-founder, former CEO and, currently, Executive Chairman Jack Dorsey has responded to The New York Times piece we covered yesterday, which proposed that Dorsey had taken a reduced role at Twitter, Inc.

His response? It’s true, he has stepped back at Twitter. Quite a bit, in fact – he only works Tuesday afternoons.

Dorsey explains that his arrangement with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo was always intended to be an interim, operational role, and once things were back on track, he would return to focusing the bulk of his time on his other startup, Square, where he’s CEO.

In Spring of 2011, Dick asked me to take an operational role overseeing product, design, and brand.
