Our new blog posts will concentrate on recent news regarding the ownership changes at Twitter as well as the subsequent massive cuts. We would like to greet your comments professionally and respectfully. We are aware that it is an emotional time for the people affected by the changes, and hope that we can provide some insight and clarification on the circumstances. It is important to be crystal clear that all employees who have been fired from Twitter will be given their complete severance package, as per the law. Everyone who is laid off from Twitter will receive three months’ worth of severance. It’s half the amount of the required legal amount.
1. What was the reason Twitter cut off the majority of its employees?
The reason that led to the massive layoffs that took place at Twitter was the company’s financial woes. Twitter has been consistently losing cash since going public in 2013and, in 2016, the company made its first-ever quarterly profits. In the initial quarter of 2017 Twitter reported a loss of $167 million. Twitter made a range of cuts to its costs. It also cut its personnel.
2. How did the Twitter’s newly appointed owner, Elon Musk, handle the crisis?
It’s interesting to watch the reactions from Elon Musk (Twitter’s new owner) to news that employees were dismissed. He seems to be not happy with the situation and has promised to sue the company. Due to the fact that Twitter is a public platform Twitter as well as the possible negative publicity it might cause, it is understandable. It is important to remember that Musk is well-known for his reckless and impulsive actions. The impact could be negative to its image.
3. What number of jobs were generated as a result of the reductions in employment?
Twitter was forced to lay off 3000 employees. This is a direct result of the increasing usage of the site following the announcement of Elon Musk, that he’d utilize it more frequently. Layoffs have also led to increased creativity and efficiency within the business because employees are much more focused on creating new and innovative features for the platform. It has also led to improved user experiences, and is expected to increase the number of customers.
4. Was there a reaction of politicians or trade unions to the layoffs?
The response of politicians and trade unions regarding the layoffs varied. Some politicians criticized the layoffs, calling them “heartless” as well as “cold-blooded.” Trade unions backed the cuts and said they could reduce the cost of business.
A Short Summary
The reductions in staff at Twitter have become a controversial issue, with many debating whether or not the reductions were justified or legally enforceable. Many of those affected are scheduled to receive compensation for their time at work up to the 4th of January. This is good news for the people affected by the layoffs, and hopefully it helps ease the transition for them as they look for new employment.
