Twitter CEO tells employees no layoffs planned ‘at this time’ following Elon Musk buyout
The Verge ^ | 4/25/2022 | By Alex Heath and Mia Sato

Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal didn’t have many concrete answers for staff about what will happen once Elon Musk takes over the company later this year. During a virtual all-hands call Monday, hours after the company announced it had agreed to be bought by Musk for $44 billion, Agrawal fielded questions on the future of his job, the company’s board, and possible layoffs.

Layoffs aren’t planned “at this time,” Agrawal said, according to a person who heard the remarks and who asked to remain anonymous. Agrawal also said that he’d remain as CEO until the deal’s close, but he didn’t comment about what would happen after that. The company’s board will dissolve once the deal closes, said Brett Taylor, the board’s independent chair.

“There is indeed uncertainty about what will happen after the deal closes,” Agrawal told staff.

Watch out for sabotage, backdoors, etc

Yes, this is the crowd that took the "W" off the computers when #43 won.

“No plans for layoffs at this time.”

For those who’ve never worked in the corporate world, allow me to translate:

Start updating your resume, immediately.

Half the company now consider themselves “freedom fighters” to sabotage Musk and to stop free speech, which they consider a form of white supremacy.

He really needs to have a team looking at recent tweets from employees. I suspect some of the more deranged liberals will try to sabotage the company, just because they are deranged

“at this time”

I like the sound of that. Having worked management in manufacturing for 30 years I know exactly what that means. “LEARN TO CODE” Fortunately for many of these left wing Twitter morons they already know how. Now they can code the menu and pricing updates for Chipotles.

I saw they were talking about organizing a union that is a sure way to get fired.

Trump picking up 18,000 new followers an hour on Truth Social this evening. He has vowed to start posting there within 7 days now that the floodgates have opened.

Would not be surprised to see Truth Social bigger than Twitter one year from now.

Good article, thanks for posting the link. what it predits is accurate. There are examples already. 4chan and 8chan (not saying twitter will become that spicy) are targeted and blamed.

The government and its controllers are fundamentally anti-freedom. This is the norm in all of humanity.

Trump has shown himself to be a poor leader. He is definitely very poor at hiring people and to keep them on mission.

It certainly has the potential to. But not of Trump rejoins Twitter.
