Layoffs appear to cover a wide range of departments, with those in engineering, human resources, policy, content moderation, and more chiming in about their new unemployed status.
MANY TWEETS AT LINK.....................
On Friday, now-former Twitter employees took to the social media platform to document their firing as new owner Elon Musk clears house.
Employees wrote of their job status in the hashtags "Love Where You Worked" and "One Team," calling it "dehumanizing," and calling out Elon Musk for the action.
Others vowed to take legal action against the social media company for being laid off.
Some former Twitter employees and others sympathetic towards their sudden job loss noted California's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires a 60-day notice from employers before a mass layoff or relocation. The Act requires notice of a layoff in advance if more than 50 percent of the workforce is laid off.
It was revealed on Thursday that Musk would be laying off many of the nearly 7,500 staff members. A letter stated that employees were to go home and not return to the office on Friday as cuts proceeded. The total number of layoffs was not included in that letter.
Other Twitter users celebrated the layoffs, with some noting that the entire process of Musk buying Twitter began earlier this year with the Babylon Bee making a joke about United States Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, and others noting how people who were fired for violating vaccine mandates were not given the same sympathy as those who have been removed from Twitter.
They need to learn to code. Oh wait.
LOLOL...at those memes.
Legal action ? Do they think Musk didn’t think this through and consult with his lawyers before draining the swamp ?
Now for the feats of strength!
Start your own social media network, entitled little snowflakes. Welcome to the real world.
They need to learn to “coal”! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
Ahhhh...the sound of Liberal Tears hitting the pavement....truly a heavenly sound.
Nobody likes being laid off, especially at this time of year. They have a decent severance package, it looks like.
Mr FF was laid off the day before Thanksgiving 3 years ago. So we know what it’s like. We had faith that God had our back, and boy, did He!! A better job came along within a few months. We never touched a dime from our savings account either. God took care of us.
Now these folks likely don’t have a relationship with the Lord, so it may be a rougher go for them, and I do feel for them in that regard. You wonder how you will pay your bills, and where is that next job? Hubby scrambled and worked his Rolodex like I’ve never seen before. Little by little, he had little jobs that people could give him, and with his good work, one thing led to another.
The important thing is to not panic. Just carry on. That’s my advice to this crew, not that they’ve asked.
Poor babies. Maybe Elon can shell out a few bucks for some emotional support donkeys.
It figures that entitled millennials / gen zzzz types would stomp, hurl insults and threaten legal action for being laid off.
I’ve been through a layoff, as have I’m sure many here have. It sucks, but you just keep moving.
I wonder if we will get an updated video of
“Day in the life of an fired twitter employee”
I see that you have raised the memes bar up a few notches. Well done!

I haven’t had this much fun since Trump won the election (the first time).
The ultimate irony would have been for Musk to hire DJT as HR Director. “Your FIRED!”
Still plenty of jobs for censors over at Facebook. And, of course, Beijing and Pyongyang.
I was wondering about the severance packages. There’s not been a lot said about them.
