Almost no information here or anywhere else. Any other source? What roles? How many?
Edit: 30% of its recruiting team: https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-lays-off-third-of-talent-team-11657227105 https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-lays-off-third-of-talen...
- __derek__ 4y agoI saw a Linkedin post from a recruiting coordinator who was laid off. Edit: This was a different person than the author of the submitted post. Uff da.
- clipsy 4y agoI’ll second those questions; I work at Twitter and am on vacation at the moment. I saw this and immediately checked my work email and major slack channels and I see no signs of any layoffs being announced. It’s possible the person claiming it has some inside information or that the layoffs are targeting specific departments and not mine I suppose, but I’d love to see a second source or more detailed information.
- yupper32 4y agoFor all we know, maybe a dozen recruiters were laid off during a hiring freeze. Which sucks but says nothing about the job security for the rest of the company or general company health. And for all we know, this person isn't giving the correct information regarding blackout windows.
- Hates_ 4y agoWSJ has a piece on it. A third of the talent team, which affects fewer than 100. https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-lays-off-third-of-talent-team-11657227105 https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-lays-off-third-of-talen...
- itslennysfault 4y agomakes sense. They've been in a hiring freeze for a while now. Not much sense paying recruiters to sit on their hands I guess.
- coffeeblack 4y agoAlso, they need to remove the ideologists there first, if they want to be able to replace the ideologists in other positions.
- rurp 4y agoIs there any evidence these layoffs are targeted at "ideologists"?
- mkr-hn 4y agoI've never encountered someone in tech who didn't have some kind of ideology. What is particularly troubling to you about the ideology of the people laid off?
- lampshades 4y ago> What is particularly troubling to you about the ideology of the people laid off? If I were a shareholder I'd say that it isn't compatible with capitalism and I feel that would be a sufficient answer.
- mkr-hn 4y agoWhat is "it"? As in the ideology, both what it is and what about it is troubling. You didn't answer the question.
- lampshades 4y agoYou know exactly what "it" is.
- dmix 4y agoExplains why this is being posted on Linkedin like it's a blog.
- honkdaddy 4y agoSlightly controversial, but I think most companies could cut the fat from their talent team by 30% and their hiring pipeline would not change. I’ve seen firsthand how a lot of recruiters operate and it’s remarkable how inefficient they can be.
