On Elon Musk’s first day in control of Twitter , the company has started laying off employees, including data engineers, self-identified former employees told CNBC.
A person who walked out of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters and identified themselves as a Twitter data engineer said they were just laid off by their director in-person.

100 posts and no “Well-Bye” meme.
We’re slipping, Freepers.
“Actually is is a VERY BAD time to be looking for a job in tech they are ALL laying off including Amazon!!!”
Maybe, even tough for delivery people.
After dark last night, we got a delivery from Amazon.
This morning USPS delivered an order from Amazon. It was an auto delivery item every 30 days.
Then, we got an Amazon delivery from the UPS guy. UPS has had runners to deliver their packages this past week. Normally that kicks in after the first week in November.
There is another Amazon delivery on its way, and we can see on their email map where their van is.
All of these Amazon deliveries had our permission to deliver everything this afternoon in a single delivery, nothing was of that priority.
We have 3 items in another Amazon order via their next day delivery, coming tomorrow by ?????? delivery service.
We only see FedX with their early morning delivery. Each delivery costs a small fortune.
Wow you got laid off... big whoop... happens to people every day, and going to happen to a LOT more people in the coming months thanks to the illegitimate administration many of the folks at this company help install into power...
HALLOWEEN:
TRICK OR TREAT——
“I’d guess you haven’t worked among software people. We aren’t flash dressers.”
I always wore a Brooks Brothers suit and wingtips. :)
I just read an article about the two guys who pranked the CNBC reporter. They really weren’t employees who were fired. This has to be them because one had a Michele Obama book.

“If I was worried about losing my job, I sure wouldn’t show up to work looking like this (unless I was a bike messenger):”
Is that the bitch?
Not so fun anymore!

Nah, they ignored external troll farms. Internal means scripting too well to hide fingerprints, and then having to run it off-site.
Did you see the pic upthread of that fat f*ck in his overnight grubby jago€€ garb, carrying his box of wank out the door?
Does that strike you as a guy willing to exert the time, overcome the tech debt, and produce the raw energy to trigger that shit internally?
Hell no, they just ignored this data farm (Libtard Media Splatters, ActFool, etc), and cracked down on that data farm. Much, much easier, and gave them the Coomer-style fake satisfaction of having installed the first Puppet-State of Biden.
They will join the resistance after Novembers election
Prior to retirement, I managed a small organization that included several software engineers. During the hiring interview process, I always stipulated that there is a dress code that all my team followed. If you wanted to work with me, you followed my rules. I had a waiting list of folks that wanted to be part of my team.
The person that replaced me was a BIG fan of that policy, and continues it to this day. She also has a waiting list.
Having worked almost 35 years in the auto industry, layoffs, both temporary and permanent, were a part of the job. And those jobs paid only a fraction of what these techies make......
CEO Parag Agrawal. He bragged about it on internal Slack (how ironic), while Unabomber was on one of his 'cleansing' pilgrimages in Polynesia.
Jack simply didn't oppose it, having gone to this overpriced overseas hempstead (after a mental 'break') to help himself 'sort out' the fact he could never convince Google to buy Twitter -- twice -- and put him on their Board of Directors.
I design microprocessor based electronic instruments and then write the software for them. I write compilers, operating systems, and device drivers.
I can outwork any six pretty boys.
I also have a waiting list; however, mine is a list of projects.
I'm plug-ugly, but a major producer. I don't work for idiots, regardless of their waiting list.
Nice post. I am in the same business as you and you are spot on. Guys like you are better than 10+ millenials. Thanks for learning and knowing what you know.
I’m happy to have company. It gets lonely amongst the “slow ones”.
My multiple Amazon deliveries have always been like that... Different warehouses, different shipping optimizations for different routes..
Cool. I was getting into Raspberry Pi before the pandemic when my company took off, and have encouraged the kids to either finish my repos or start some of their own.
Drive them hard. There is a lot of satisfaction as well as some gold in “them thar hills”. I enjoyed my career in its entirety; and, work diverse and always interesting projects. If you are good at the technical work, stay out of management.
