Musk Fires More Twitter Sales Workers After Hardcore Purge(Bloomberg) -- Elon Musk laid off more Twitter Inc. workers from the sales side of the social networks business beginning late on Sunday, further trimming a staff that had already been decimated by cuts and resignations.
Last week, Musk had asked workers to commit to his more hardcore version of the company or leave. Sales employees signed on to his vision in greater numbers than workers on the technical side, which saw mass resignations, according to people familiar with the matter. Musk is using the cuts to balance out the remaining staff, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing internal decisions.
Some of those who were fired started to receive notice on Sunday, according to two people familiar with the matter, though its unclear how many will be impacted in the current round. Platformer earlier reported the news.
Twitters sales organization held an all-hands meeting on Sunday with Musk and the new head of sales, Chris Riedy, two people said. Many employees showed up expecting some announcement about cuts, after Bloomberg reported Saturday that more were coming. Instead, Musk used the time to talk about ongoing updates, including his decision to reinstate the account of former US President Donald Trump, one of the people said. Then the layoffs came with no corporate memo, they added.
