Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake, according to two people familiar with the moves. Others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.
Twitter cut close to 3,700 people last week via email as a way to trim costs following Musk’s acquisition, which closed in late October. Many employees learned they lost their job after their access to company-wide systems, like email and Slack, were suddenly suspended. The requests for employees to return demonstrate how rushed and chaotic the process was.
“Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day,” Musk tweeted on Friday.
"Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required."

ReplyDeleteThey better have a plan B bcos dis Elon Musk is not a stable guy. Their jobs arent safe.
ReplyDeleteHe's afraid of massive poaching from the newly launched app. Let him ensure his board vets his decision making well, he seems unstable for real.
DeleteAnon12:48, you have a point there. He may be afraid that the fired employees will migrate to the new app and give the opposition leverage. Wise employees should start looking for a Plan B cos this guy is too volatile. Heavens knows what he will do next.
DeleteSome are not returning saying they were not valued and no guarantee they won't be fired any moment.
ReplyDeleteElon Musk is not stable.
