Twitter reportedly laid off a large number of its contract workers without any warning. It was so sudden that they only learned of their termination after they could no longer access the company’s work systems and their Slack instant messaging accounts.
The Twitter contract workers were let go only last weekend, and the information was shared with CNBC by full-time employees. Based on estimation, around 4,400 were cut in this batch of layoffs since Elon Musk took over the company following his $44 billion acquisition deal.
Only 1,100 contract workers remained after the latest workers’ reduction move, however, the publication could not confirm if this is really the exact number. Some of the affected employees were based in India and other locations.
The full-time staff of the company affirmed there was no internal notice before the contractors that they were working with were terminated. They added that Twitter had already axed its entire internal communications team.
These new job cuts are the third round of layoffs since Oct. 28. At this time, the company has already dismissed about half of its workforce.
Meanwhile, executives of the company are also leaving their jobs amid the chaotic situation inside after Musk became the new Twitter owner. As per CNN Business, several top executives, including the chief information security officer, Lea Kissner, have submitted their resignations.
Kissner quit on Thursday last week and said she is trying to figure out what her next step would be. “I have made the hard decision to leave Twitter,” she announced on Twitter. “I have had the opportunity to work with amazing people and I’m so proud of the privacy, security, and IT teams and the work we’ve done.”
The social media platform’s chief of integrity and safety, Yoel Roth, resigned on the same day as well, but his resignation was only revealed by an insider. Prior to their departure, chief privacy officer, Damien Kieran, quit on Wednesday.
