Elon Musk is starting the process of mass layoffs at Twitter today as he completes 1 week in the company. Internal emails sent to employees have given them a heads-up about the company’s decision to reduce workforce.
There are no estimates as to how many Twitter employees will lose their jobs. However, prior reports have suggested that Musk plans to axe around 50 per cent of all jobs on Twitter.
The email sent to Twitter employees mentions the exact time when they will be notified about their status. The email was spotted by Reuters and some other US media outlets. It also mentions that Twitter offices will be out of bounds for its employees temporarily.
Twitter employees that are retained, will get an email at their official company address. Those that are being fired, will receive an email on their personal ID.
