This is like corporate email golfing, I love it. I propose "Hey" instead of "Team".

Stock in the dumps, 336 chumps are fired.

Plus side: would definitely fit in a tweet.

@jack: "just slimming down my twttr"

Yo,

336 people out. We'll compensate.

employees -= 336

Hey, Stock in the dumps, firing 336 chumps. Jack

In this particular example, whats important is keeping the character count under 140, so your proposal wins 1 point. (insert golf clap). I will see your "Hey", and counter propose "Yo". That frees up two characters for use elsewhere vs the original "Team".
