If being laid off via email wasn't bad enough, how about being asked to return to your job at Twitter just a few days later?
According to Bloomberg, that's exactly what is happening right now, three days after the social network laid off around half its employees. Twitter's new management team apparently realized it made a few mistakes when carrying out mass layoffs last Friday and is scrambling to rectify them.
People familiar with the situation claim the management team Elon Musk put in place to oversee the layoffs was a bit too eager to let people go. The end result is some staff were fired by mistake, while others lost their jobs before management took the time to understand what they did, what experience they had at Twitter, and how incredibly useful that experience is for the new features Musk wants to add to Twitter.
When Twitter was asked for comment by Bloomberg, none was forthcoming from a spokesperson. It therefore remains unclear how many of the roughly 3,700 employees who were laid off have been contacted with a new job offer, but it's thought to be in the dozens. There's also the question of how many would actually consider going back if this is how the new management team operates.
