Insiders are stunned after Twitter eliminated 4,400 of its 5,500 contractors with no notice, both in the US and abroad, according to Platformer.
The contractors are not being notified. They are just losing access to Slack and email.
....Snip....
Elon Musk immediately fired Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and head of Trust & Safety Legal Vijaya Gadde when he took over Twitter last month.

Most times a new POTUS cleans house and brings in people he can trust.
(Something POTUS Trump failed to do and unfortunately learned that lesson the hard way).
In my mind this is no different.

Did the media report the number of jobs lost when Joe killed the keystone pipeline?
Slack is the best-of-breed work collaboration tool. If your org is only using it to gossip, that’s management’s fault, not Slack’s.
Next to impossible when dealing with Civil Service employees who have FAR MORE protection than the workforce at large and not even due to their union membership!
Yup…..those folks actually doing stuff. Work that those snowflakes, f they were dreaming about it, they’d consider it a nightmare.
But, most of the liberal chicks would secretly be drooling over those roughnecks.
Wonder how many were working from home and were throwing temper tantrums over having to leave their $3000/month studio apt, shower, put on work clothes and actually have to show up somewhere and perform.
I've worked with too many who were severely under-qualified to deliver basic data and reports. They absolutely couldn't (or wouldn't) identify gaps up front so that they could bill more and more to fix what should have been in the original delivery.
It was an eye-opener to me the first time I got dragged into a project to "enhance" an original program. The original program was so poorly done that the "enhancements" were impossible without redoing the entire setup; software, hardware, everything. It violated basics of data and standards of the industry we were in. Since redoing the entire program was never going to be in the budget, it went nowhere. The operational and decision making losses to the business were in the millions.
The worst I lived through was a software rollout in a multi-billion dollar company. The VP of the division was beyond frustrated and forced the contractor to roll it out two years after it was due. It should have been very straightforward but it was garbage. Actually, it wasn't just garbage, it was outright dangerous as it was tied to financial systems and lied to the users. The worst part about it was that they didn't retain the previous systems and run both in parallel so the users were screwed the moment the rollout happened.
The VP and the company would have been better off scrapping it completely and taking a financial loss on the whole thing. The division and those they supported never recovered. The flood of analysts' departures started immediately. They knew they couldn't do their jobs with that flawed tool. The company lurched along only by customer demand for the next several years before it went completely out of business.
I work in high tech. I usually see people walked out with a box only when they took a job with a competitor.
Forgot to add….but they all expected gas at the gas station, diesel for trucks and heating oil for their homes, right?
I’m referring to one he could have canned and didn’t

LOL, brilliant! As Bay area relatives send me emails proclaiming the pronouns “them, theirs”, this humor hits home!
That’s what contractors are for, to let go without notice.
Just so you snowflake programmer contractors know, your administration’s labor department is making it harder by the day for companies to keep you around without breaking labor laws.
Have a nice day.
15%? Boy were you one of the lucky places to work. Most places took much harder hits than that.
I never heard of Slack before this thread.
(I love retirement.)
Kind of like this:
It's not "what are your problem solving skills?", it's "what are your problem continuation skills?"
One former employee provided others with a utility that would help them download and save company email in response to Musk’s taking over Twitter.
The turning off of slack and denying email access is not uncommon in tech and its done for security reasons. Who knows what software attacks they could launch to take down, poison-pill the platform if they are fired and still have access to their email or other technical resources. I think if they don’t have email, they also can’t log onto Twitter from the employee side...it’s just the article didn’t think that was important to mention? Because, it looks like security issue.
Actually in Silicon Valley employees have returned to their desk to find their keyboard missing - clear sign one is being terminated.
While the Democrats have professional grifters at every turn because they're unemployable outside of government or academia, conscientious conservatives have productive lives in their hometowns and aren't waiting in the folds to go into the Swamp.
