Musk Reportedly Plans to Fire Half of Twitter Staff

a concerning report for twitter employees is saying that Elon musk and his team planning to fire half of the company's staff starting tomorrow. And that massive workforce reduction comes just a week after the billionaire bought the social media platform CNBC is reporting that musk met with with advisers excuse me about that reduction yesterday and that a calendar item was widely visible to twitter staff by accident, but it's unclear if it was an accident or not, Bloomberg reported Meanwhile that musk is planning to fire 3700 employees for the remaining twitter workers musk is reportedly enacting a mandatory return to office policy. Twitter employees have been able to remain remote since the onset of the pandemic and we know he had a return to work policy that was very controversial for Tesla employees as well. Tesla employees had criticized that policy saying that it was tough for their commutes. They couldn't find parking A myriad of other issues as well. There's also some reporting out there Chloe that apparently some of the managers over Twitter are trying to find their higher and lower performers at Twitter. So that way they at least start to create a list of people who might be staying at the platform at the end of the day. I mean it's just insane to sort of think about if you're one of those 50% of the employees that might lose their jobs and you've got this calendar invite by accident here. Baker I mean it it's all very dire over there right now. I think it's interesting too and we should mention that, you know, when just as early as last week, Elon musk was reassuring employees that he wasn't intending on laying off about 75% of staff because there had been some reporting suggesting that that was the number they were targeting, but now we're talking about 50% and I would say that's hardly a consolation for those employees who were previously worried. But yeah, baker, to your point, You're having asking managers to make lists of their employees based on performance when it comes to the software engineers, for example, you know how much they've contributed to that Twitter code. And also, you know, interesting to with this work remote, a lot of these workers have been working remote now for over two years San Francisco's most expensive city in the entire country. Some of them have likely moved away. So I'm wondering if we could see even more than 50% leaving on the back of this announcement.
