Thoughts? Elon Musk plans to lay off 5,500 out of 7000 of Twitter's employees (78%) when he purchases the company. Twitter has started stack ranking and it's expected layoffs will initially target lower performers, who scored less than a 3 on performance reviews. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/20/musk-twitter-acquisition-staff-cuts/
They’re fucked.
Good luck to all those Twitter engineers who wanted Elon to weed out low performers, got their wish.
They fuked around and found out.
Nobody wanted this besides some trolls on blind
Twitter has always been shit, Elon has always been shit. This is a match made in heaven. I hope he drives that toxic mess of a website into the ground.
That should combine Meta, Twitter, Parlor , Truth Social and make one big SocialMedia so you can get everything on one App
Serious question - how did you arrive at your estimate on what % layoff would keep the site operational?
Imagine your team of 10 being reduced to 2 or 3 and keeping up with the same velocity
I think he doesn’t really want to buy it and he’s using this so they’ll back out from forcing him. He scared every employee sh*tless with this comment and now it’s a game of chicken.
Yep
There were articles from journalists saying there would be a mass exodus of employees if he bought Twitter. Now people are upset at expected layoffs.
Both can be true.
I hope they livestream the hunger games on twitch.
Can go either way with Musk tbh. Even without the layoffs, Twitter’s employees are already looking out.
Better for him that they quit.
