I find that hard to believe. You cant cut a company that severely so quickly. I know there are many being laid off but what is the real number?
Either A. They never really needed that many people. B. It’s going under.
Or both answers are correct.
It's 100% both.
69%
There is a time and place for jokes.
4:20pm ?
I thought it was impossible too but from looking at my Linkedin feed it might have been the case so far. Brutal…
Even if it’s not 50%, I think it gotta be >30%
Is layoffs.fyi accurate? It has 50%
Twitter is a one trick pony, why does it need so many people. They’ll end up with more lawyers than SWEs when it’s all done.
Internationalization, accessibility, legal for different countries, targeted ads, moderation, performance, optimization, scalability, etc. Its basic functionality is simple, but there is so much happening behind the scenes that the common person wouldn't understand. Not that there wasn't some form of bloat, but having worked for Elon he values speed over quality. He's going to sink this company right into the ground.
I feel the same for Uber. Uber has 1.25 lakh employees and Ola which is an Indian cab ride hailing has 20k employees. Will the Internalisation cost the company 5-6x employees..!?
More like 70%
People forget that this is just the first round. Second round: 3 - 4 months Third round: 6 - 8 months The question Twitter employees need to ask themselves is do you want the “L” now or later.
It’s happening at 9 today
I've seen so many engineers laid off on my social media it seems like the whole company tbh
I have only seen people not laid off humble bragging.
Elon can eliminate 30% of people simply because there’s no longer compliance requirements of a publicly traded company. Also he probably has internal support teams from his other private companies for legal, HR, etc. That’s just simple business-related redundancy.
They have fired the entire marketing team in india.
Only American paper is worth elon time?
Jus opening himself for a Chinese or Indian copy of Twitter with 1/3 the cost and more features
Pretty sure it’s more than that
Is it 51
Same here, entire teams were cut off entirely, most of them only kept one person out of 6-10
