Twitter, which Elon Musk earlier completed his $44 billion ($6.47 trillion) acquisition of the company, has contacted dozens of former employees who lost their jobs and asked them to return to the company after the company once it cut its workforce by about half on November 4.
As for Twitter’s workforce reduction, with the company losing just over $4 million every day, unfortunately, there is no choice.
Two people familiar with the situation, who asked not to be identified because they were privy to the information, said that some of those who were asked to return were mistakenly laid off, and others were laid off before executives realized that they had the positions and experience they thought were needed to build the new features that Mr. Musk plans to build. In some cases.
As part of its cost-cutting efforts, Twitter cut about 3,700 employees through e-mail. Many employees learned of their job losses when their access to companywide systems, such as e-mail and the business messaging app Slack, was suddenly suspended. Requests to return to the company confirm that the layoff process was rushed and fraught with confusion.
A Twitter spokesperson did not return a request for comment. Plans to rehire former employees once laid off were reported earlier by the news site Platformer.
Meanwhile, on November 4, Musk tweeted, “As for Twitter layoffs, with the company losing just over $4 million daily, unfortunately we have no choice.
According to sources, Twitter currently has nearly 3,700 employees left. Musk has asked these employees to move quickly to provide new features, and in some cases, employees are sleeping at work to meet new deadlines.
