Fear and anxiety rampant at Twitter India as Musk starts downsizing

With Twitter asking its contract employees to not come to office and wait for an email to know their fate at the company, anxiety and fear among its Indian employees is also at an all-time high.

People in the know described the mood within the India development centres and across all segments as “very fearful”, with people not sure if they will have a job or not.

“Nobody knows if they will have a job tomorrow, and the fear of getting fired just got real,” said a person who is aware of the situation but did not wish to be named.

Meanwhile, reports have already stated that the engineering and development teams have been asked not to work on any new projects.

An email sent to Twitter India did not elicit any response till the filing on this report.
