"Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake. Others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features Musk envisions, the report said citing people familiar with the moves."<p>That second sentence, those employees, should tell Musk and Twitter to go f-themselves. To be thrown away because the child billionaire paid too much and has to cut costs asap and then asked to come back because there's a knowledge or skills gap thwarting the pushing of new features is Twitter's problem not that of the employees fired/laid-off.
This chaos further lends evidence to the idea that controls around mass redundancy is a good thing.<p>People should lobby for the following:<p>* advance warning<p>* open redundancy processes<p>* mandatory consultation periods<p>* protection that redundancies are justified<p>Redundancy legislation is not just about minimum severance, it's about making sure large companies put in place proper procedures to prevent this kind of chaos.<p>By engaging with the workforce with advance notice (real advance notice that there will be redundancies, not just paying off a severance) and having consultations then redundancies can be minimised and focused where necessary.<p>Not laying off a chunk of workers who a week later you realised you depended on.
Isn’t this story already exposed as being based on one person on Blind saying something like ‘oh yeah’?<p>I could look it up but can’t be bothered, a story that references another story with no sources doesn’t need to be disproved.
If true, seems to me many would not accept. Although perhaps they would get a pay rise + some may value a job if they see a recession impending.<p>Overall, seems very odd, and if true very bad management.
Their status page has been reporting the wrong certificate all weekend: <a href="https://status.twitter.com/" rel="nofollow">https://status.twitter.com/</a><p>It has also rotated through various content (404 page, etc) which suggests someone has been fruitlessly trying to resolve the problem. Rebuilding their internal knowledge about "how to run this Twitter thing" is going to be an adventure for those left.
No sources? You have to take anything to do with Elon’s Twitter takeover with a grain of salt because journalists have an axe to grind now the status symbol (that we’re now finding out was sold at $15k per verification at times by staff under the table) is open to everyone.
Git stack ranking via a script coded by SpaceX and Tesla sofware engineers over a weekend and bringing Jason Calcanis and your personal lawyer onboard to give you advice.<p>What possible other outcome could there be other than a shit show ???.
