'Please Come Back': Twitter Reportedly Reaches Out To Some Fired Employees After Mass Layoffs

Twitter laid off nearly 3,700 people last week following Elon Musk's takeover.

Twitter has now reportedly approached dozens of employees who lost their jobs, asking them to return after the social media platform sacked almost half of its employees last week. Those being asked to return were laid off by mistake, reported Bloomberg, citing sources. Others were let go before management realised that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions, the report said.

The social media platform laid off nearly 3,700 people last week through email in an effort to trim costs following Musk’s acquisition, which closed in late October. Many employees came to know about the decision after they discovered their access to company-wide systems, like email and Slack were suddenly suspended. The requests to employees now depict the company's chaotic process regarding firing employees.

“Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately, there is no choice when the company is losing over $4 million per day,” Musk tweeted on Friday. Twitter has nearly 3,700 employees remaining, whom Musk is pushing to implement shipping new features so much so that in some cases employees have even slept at the office to meet new deadlines.

Meanwhile, the new Twitter chief Elon Musk has warned users of permanent suspension of accounts if they are found impersonating Twitter without clearly specifying that they are parody accounts.

In a tweet, Musk said that earlier a warning was issued before suspending the account but the same is not going to be the case after rolling out widespread verification.
