Twitter laid off at least a dozen more employees
Twitter doesn’t seem to be done with job cuts under Elon Musk. The social network reportedly laid off “at least a dozen” employees on Friday. The company has already reduced its workforce by more than 50 percent since the ownership change in late October last year.
According to a Bloomberg report, the latest layoff from Twitter came on Friday night. The layoff impacted the company’s Global Content Moderation teams in its Dublin and Singapore offices. Some of the fired workers looked after its “misinformation policy, global appeals, and state media,” the report says. These included Twitter’s head of site integrity for the Asia-Pacific region Nur Azhar Bin Ayob and senior director of revenue policy Analuisa Dominguez.
Twitter’s head of trust and safety Ella Irwin confirmed the latest layoff to Bloomberg. But she denied the publication’s claim about the teams impacted by the job cuts. Irwin said the company eliminated roles in areas that didn’t get enough “volume” to warrant continued support. “It made more sense to consolidate teams under one leader (instead of two) for example,” Irwin said in an emailed statement. She added that the social network has increased staffing in its appeals department.
Irwin also confirmed that Twitter will continue to have a head for its Asia-Pacific region for trust and safety, as well as a head of revenue policy. It’s unclear if the company will hire new people for those roles or promote someone from the existing team. But this layoff is at least the second major job cut since Musk announced an end of the firing spree in November last year, saying Twitter is “actively recruiting” again. The firm laid off several employees from its infrastructure division last month.
Twitter continues to lay off employees as legal troubles mount
Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion in October last year. The multi-billionaire said he plans to reshape the social network as the town square of the internet. But it has been a rough few months for the company under the new owner. Shortly after completing the acquisition, Mush said the firm is losing about $4 million per day and is headed to bankruptcy.
Twitter has since introduced new ways of making money, including the revamped Twitter Blue subscription service. But it doesn’t seem to be enough. It is already facing multiple lawsuits over unpaid bills, including for rent at one of its San Francisco offices. Meanwhile, Musk continues to lay off more employees. He started with nearly 7,500 employees and is now reportedly left with about 2,500. We will have to wait and see if more people lose their Twitter jobs in the coming months.
