After the takeover of Twitter by billionaire Elon Musk, employees of the social media giant were under a cloud of uncertainty about their future at the company. However, the company announced that layoffs of employees are expected to start on Friday, and about half of Twitter’s 7,500 employees appeared to be losing their jobs, according to a report.
Some employees have already started receiving emails about their dismissal and are posting about the same on the microblogging platform. While many are angry and heartbroken about the move, a fired employee took to the platform to share the news in a merry way. He said: “I just got fired. Bird App, it was an absolute honor, the greatest privilege ever to be part of this team, this culture #LoveWhereYouWorked #LoveTwitter”
