In order to aid the process of staff cuts at Twitter, the company said that it would keep its offices closed temporarily and also remove all badge access “to help ensure the safety of each employee as well as Twitter systems and customer data,” as per the report. 

As far as the information on layoff goes, the micro blogging platform is expected to inform the sacked employees about next steps via their personal emails. However, all those who will be safe and not laid off, they are reportedly expected to get the information via their work email ids.

These layoffs at Twitter come as a part of the several changes initiated by billionaire Elon Musk, after his takeover of the social media platform. With this, Musk also aims at cutting costs and implementing new work culture at Twitter. As soon as he took over, Musk fired the company’s top executives including former CEO Parag Agrawal and also announced that Twitter blue tick will soon get paid.
