'If in office or on your way, please return home': Elon Musk's email sent to Twitter employees confirm layoffs

New Delhi: Elon Musk will begin laying off 50 per cent of workforce, around 3,700 employees, of Twitter on Friday in a bid to reduce costs. Not just this, to fructify his plans to alter the ongoing work-from-anywhere policy, Musk has now asked all the remaining workers of the social media giant to go to offices. Twitter employees are scheduled to receive an email by 9 am PST (9:30 pm IST) on 4 November telling them about their employment status. Earlier, an email was sent to Twitter employees in which they were asked to be ready for layoffs scheduled on Friday. Twitter employees who are on their way to office were asked to return home and wait for an email to hit their mailbox. Notably, the layoffs will be global and take place across geographies. The internal memo sent to employees said that “we will be reducing our global workforce” on Friday, 4 November. There have been speculations of job cuts ever since Musk purchased Twitter and became its CEO. Here’s full email that Twitter has sent to its employees: Team, In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday. We recognize that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company’s success moving forward.
