Whenever everything are done ie contractors and the overhead arehigh, the company will look at their employees. Any overlapping work or employees will be next to let go. For technical staffs, their managers will weigh the pros and cons of letting go this particular staff - basically a check list. If this staff has an unique skills ie still need to service customers as he is the only one who knows the product, the company has no reason to retrench this staff.

According to separate reports from Platformer’s Casey Newton and Axios, the social media platform began reducing its contingent staff on Saturday afternoon. After a period of uncertainty about the scale of the job cuts, Newton put the number at approximately 4,400 affected individuals. The move is expected significantly impact Twitter's ability to moderate content and keep its platform up and running.Twitter also appears to have provided no notice to those who lost their job this weekend. Many found out they weren’t working for the company anymore after they abruptly lost access to Twitter’s internal systems. “One of my contractors just got deactivated without notice in the middle of making critical changes to our child safety workflows,” one manager posted in the company’s Slack, according to Newton. Yet others found out by reading the reports about the cuts. Some workers are now worried they may not get paid for their last two weeks of work. Following Twitter’s November 4th layoffs, many contractors ended up on teams with no full-time staff, leaving no one to sign off on their time sheets.Twitter did not immediately respond to Engadget’s request for comment. The company reportedly cut its entire communications department during its recent reorganization.The cuts come at the end of another turbulent week at Twitter. On Wednesday, the company began rolling out its new Twitter Blue subscription with verification only to suspend sign-ups less than two days later after it was overrun by trolls. Musk also reportedly told employees Twitter was losing so much money that bankruptcy was \"not out of the question.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9969604108,"gmtCreate":1668418424805,"gmtModify":1676538053535,"author":{"id":"3575544575320394","authorId":"3575544575320394","name":"来人","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0af89587decbb8a1d3e1596adc29cb98","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Ok&nbsp;","listText":"Ok&nbsp;","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9969604108","repostId":1125543765,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9969843051,"gmtCreate":1668409696673,"gmtModify":1676538052121,"author":{"id":"4094523315193150","authorId":"4094523315193150","name":"CZUP","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/362836b7c92c3c15fa3fed0787fb55a2","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"1","listText":"1","text":"1","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9969843051","repostId":1125543765,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9969857821,"gmtCreate":1668408780263,"gmtModify":1676538052000,"author":{"id":"4100833454173050","authorId":"4100833454173050","name":"DiAngel","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/f7c2ee91188421bf874cdbc97fb77886","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Musk indeed has an unique way of doing business.
