Elon Ask Twitter Employee To Come Back After Laying Half Of Them Off

Twitter is heading into its second full week after Elon Musk had acquired it at the end of October. Ever since the billionaire took over Twitter, he made rapid changes to the platform.

This includes firing the CEO and two executives of Twitter and charging users $8 (RM38) monthly to receive the blue check mark. Moreover, one of the biggest thing that Musk had done is letting go about half of Twitter’s staff last week.

This past Friday, Musk initiated an email-based layoff of around 3,700 employees at the San Francisco-based corporation. Many twitter workers said they found out that Musk had laid them off after they saw they can’t access the internal networks

Musk stated that the reason for the mass layoff was due to the company losing $4 million (RM19 million) a day.

However, the social media platform is trying to turn back their decision and rehire employees that they had laid off.

Platformer reported that the company is trying to reverse the decision. This is according to a Twitter Slack that some laid off employees received.

“sorry to @- everybody on the weekend but I wanted to pass along that we have the opportunity to ask folks that were left off if they will come back. I need to put together names and rationales by 4PM PST Sunday,” the message said.

“I’ll do some research but if any of you who have been in contact with folks who might come back and who we think will help us, please nominate tomorrow before 4.”

Disputes were filed against Musk because of the layoffs. Last Thursday, a group of former employees filed a federal complaint. They argued that the company broke the law by not providing notice before carrying out the layoffs.
