Since Elon Musk took over Twitter last Friday, he immediately began mass layoffs of employees, an action that resulted in around 3,700 people being left without a job, a number of workers that is almost half of the total workforce. of platform partners.
However, three days after the billionaire’s decision to cut staff as a strategy to reduce company costs, sources close to Musk say that at least a couple of dozen workers were mistakenly fired and are now being contacted to come back.
The way in which the thousands of employees found out that they had been removed from their posts was through an email, in which they were informed that from that moment on they would no longer have access to the entire company’s system. as well as mail and slack of the company.
To all the dismissed employees, the Canadian investor and tycoon offered three months of compensation, an offer that he declared last Friday is 50 percent more than what the law governs. Before the dismissals, the affected people began to manifest themselves in networks sharing blue hearts and emojis that indicated that they were out of the company.
As for Twitter’s downsizing, there’s sadly no option when the company is losing more than $4 million a day.

Separately, in India, Musk laid off more than 90 percent of his staff over the past weekend, slashing his engineering and product staff in a potential growth market.
It should be noted that the Twitter employees who remain in command of the 51-year-old billionaire are under a fairly heavy workload, since with the changes they are asked to move quickly before the approach of the new functionalities, even there are cases of people who have had to sleep in the office to meet the deadlines demanded by Musk.
