NEW YORK – After Twitter laid off roughly half its staff last week
Some of those who are being asked to return were laid off by mistake. Others were let go before management realised that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features that Mr Musk envisions, the report said, citing people familiar with the moves.
Twitter recently laid off 50 per cent of its employees, including employees on the trust and safety team, global head of safety and integrity Yoel Roth said in a tweet earlier this week.
Tweets by staff of the social media company said that teams responsible for communications, content curation, human rights and machine learning ethics were among those gutted, as were some product and engineering teams.
Twitter on Saturday updated its app in Apple’s App Store to begin charging US$8 for sought-after blue check verification marks,
Twitter did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment. REUTERS
