Twitter asks tweeps to return after layoffs

After Twitter laid off approximately half of its staff on Friday, the company is now reaching out to dozens of employees who lost their jobs and asking them to return.

Twitter Inc. has fired about 3,700 employees out of 7,500 employees across the globe as part of mass layoffs, ordered by its new owner Elon Musk, who is looking to make his $44-billion acquisition work.

Some of these employees have been asked to return by the company mentioning they have laid them off by mistake. Others were let go before management



realized that their work and experience will be necessary to build new features in the app.

The world’s richest businessman Musk began his mass layoff in India at Twitter last week by firing the CEO Parag Agrawal as well as the CFO and some other top executives.

Tweets by a few staff members of the company said that teams responsible for communications, product, content curation, engineering, human rights, and machine learning ethics were a few of those teams that were laid off.
