There are Twitter employees tweeting out that they have been fired already. Whether it’s going to be 25% or not, it’s certainly not just outgoing executives.
And the WaPo article states: “ The first round of layoffs, led by his lawyer Alex Spiro, will target 25 percent of the workforce”
- jdminhbg 4y agoYou’re missing the distinction PP is pointing out, between “layoffs” and “for-cause firings.”
- ummonk 4y agoAh I see now. Right we will have to see whether they’re claimed to be for-cause or not. Though the rush to fire people with a looming vesting deadline is certainly cause for suspicion.
- hedora 4y agoGetting rid of 25% of the company "for cause" is not going to hold up in court. They'll be treated as layoffs. I think Musk just proved this by trying the same thing at Tesla.
- jdminhbg 4y agoYou also have it backwards. The post is positing the for-cause firings and the supposed 25% layoffs as separate events.
