Twitter reportedly removes thousands of contract workers without notice

Twitter has reportedly fired thousands of contract workers as Elon Musk continues to implement aggressive measures to bring the social media giant back on its feet. According to Platformer, an estimated 4400 out of 5500 contact workers have been impacted by job cuts.

Other outlets, including Axios and CNBC, claim the staff were not given any heads up before being laid off. CNBC reported the terminated staff only discovered they had been let go after losing access to Slack and other work systems over the weekend. Some of Twitter’s contract workers were based in India as well.
