Twitter fired between 4,400 and 5,500 workers over the weekend by email. The job cuts follow layoffs that culled about half of Twitter’s workforce and slashed 15 percent of its trust and safety team.
Elon [Look at me] Musk fired the workers hired to handle the company's content moderation, real estate, marketing, engineering, and other departments.
Showing his management expertise he forgot to tell managers about the job cuts, apparently expecting them to understand why all the desks were empty this morning by tuning in telepathically. Some managers did not realise their staff had been terminated until after seeing that their accounts have been deactivated in Twitter’s system.
Twitter explains that the job cuts are part of its “reprioritisation and savings exercise.” It also informs employees their last day is Monday, 14 November, but that they won’t be expected to do anything.
