Elon Musk previously expressed his desire to lay off up to half of Twitter’s 7,500-member staff, though it’s unclear how many people will actually get the ax
Twitter employees are gearing up to learn whether they’ll get to keep their jobs or be forced to fly the coop by the company’s new owner, Elon Musk.
“We recognize that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.” The Thursday email noted offices would be closed on Friday amid the cuts “to help ensure the safety” of employees and Twitter’s systems. It ended with an acknowledgment that it will be “an incredibly challenging experience to go through” for the workforce.
The memo comes a week after the world’s richest man formally acquired Twitter for $44 billion. One of Musk’s first major moves as Twitter head was to bid farewell to four top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, legal chief, Vijaya Gadde, and general counsel, Sean Edgett. He also removed the company’s board of directors and installed himself as the sole board member.
