Days after laying off roughly half of the company, Twitter is now reaching out to dozens of employees who lost their jobs and asking them to return.
According to sources cited by Bloomberg, a few of those who are being asked to return were “laid off by mistake” while others were let go before management realized that their work and experience may be necessary to build the new features the new boss Elon Musk envisions.
Twitter fired around 3,700 people via email as a way to cut costs following Musk's acquisition. Many employees learned they lost their job after their access to company-wide systems, like email and Slack, were suddenly suspended.
Top management Musk also fired top executives including CEO Parag cuts Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, legal affairs and policy chief Vijaya Gadde.
