TWEETSTORM Shock way UK Twitter workers were told of mass layoffs TODAY – with some getting ‘laptops wiped while they were asleep’

In a memo to all staff on Thursday, workers were told they would receive a message in their private accounts if sacked.

While those keeping their jobs would receive the news in their work emails.

The email subject is menacingly titled "Your Role at Twitter" and will land in inboxes by 4pm UK time on Friday.

A source told The Sun that "circa 1,000 staff" at the UK offices in London and Manchester are at risk of losing their jobs.

It is unclear how many people Twitter employs in the UK.

Due to labor laws, the may get paid for several months, but wiping the corporate laptops and phones is smart, and is typical of data loss prevention plans, as well as protecting intellectual property and code from damage.

Once HR says go, IT can execute this globally in ‘seconds’.

Bye Felicia.

Yes, that’s normal. Having handled payroll and HR for years in several companies, this is SOP. They’ll get severance, but will be gone.

TRump should say this in his rallies

“Come election day,

Remember who shut you and your business down
Remember who forced your kids to stay home while Teacher’s Unions laughed.
Remember who forced you to get an experimental shot
Remember who called you a terrorist, deplorable, and now a cockroach”

I am just the messenger. There are so many creative trolls on twitter...and now a man who loves to troll owns the whole thing.
I guess his mom helped in dig up this one

Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator


Btw, saw where Diddy wanted a piece of the pie and helped fund the take over. Only 10 million though.

That’ll teach them to go to sleep while on salary - they should have been watching 24/7!

Actually, if I’d been working there anything personal on that laptop would have been moved earlier this week.

YES indeed.
He has three rallies yet. One in Ohio.

Relative took a new job, turned in his 2 weeks notice and was walked to the front door AFTER a “tech transfer” meeting with his replacement. He’s in robotics.

IDK either, but that’s pretty much what happens at my corporation anytime someone gives notice.

"Your role at Twitter" isn't menacing. Now, "Welcome to the unemployment line, Loser, no more free M&Ms for you", that's menacing.

These guys are new to this. Boeing used to do mass layoffs during Christmas week. Now that's style.
