Elon Musk announces Twitter mass layoffs to begin Friday
- Normille 4y agoThe thing that surprises me most about these stories is that Twitter had 7000 employees. Anyone who's ever tried to get hold of a human being at one of these online behemoths and been given the runaround with 'un-monitored' email addresses, contact forms which submit into black holes and copy/paste 'support' staff, would have been forgiven for thinking the whole thing was run by a couple of dozen people, at most. What the hell did 7000 of them find to do? Mind you, looking at some of those job titles 'Head of Inclusion, Diversity...' etc. I suspect quite a few of them are just pissed off that the gravy train has finally run into the buffers.
- ID1452319 4y agoAs a very occasional user Twitter, I have to admit that the glacial pace of functional improvements when I drop in from one month to the next does not suggest a company with 7,000 employees. I guess they could all work in sales and marketing, who knows.
