A Twitter employee has told Sky News his laptop has been remotely wiped and he's been locked out of his accounts as the company considers mass layoffs

"I then got in touch with a few colleagues, and it seemed like a lot of people had the same thing."

Asked how he'd found the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the company since Musk expressed interest in buying Twitter in April, he said:"It's a weird mix of emotions. I really enjoyed working at Twitter, it's been incredible, but this acquisition has been unprecedented in about a million different ways."Morale has been kind of all over the place, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster ever since April when Musk first made the offer, then this lawsuit through the summer.

"I think it would be naive to not have seen [job cuts] coming given everything that was reported about the economics of the deal and he [Musk] was trying to get out of it for so long," he said."I think layoffs were inevitable. I think to some degree they were probably inevitable regardless, even if the deal hadn't happened.

"The final amount probably would have been lower if this acquisition hadn't happened because it's put a lot on the balance sheet of him and the company."which he accused of misleading him over the number of spam accounts on the platform. Fears over the Tesla and SpaceX founder's potentially loose stance on content moderation has plenty of genuine

Twatter employees cashing in on selling stories 🤣🤣

Does 'wiped' mean something different in the UK? If he's locked out, how would he know it is wiped? Most IT folks deal with at least one layoff in their career. I hope we don't have to hear from all of them. I survived eight but not the ninth, in the same company.

Welcome to the real world; the whiner in question comes across as a real bad apple and seems perfectly suited to being an ex-employee.

Well done! Leftists should be FIRED!

There ya go....

If a personal laptop, it's worrying. If a work laptop, it's good practice.

Knows how we feel

😂😂

Twitter fired a father who’s on leave helping his son who has cancer

They now know how ecery conservative trump supporter feels

*correction: *His employer's laptop. That doesn't make it ok though.

🤣

Well,.........Bye

It wasn't 'His' laptop, it was a company laptop. and only a fool wouldn't lock tech staff out of their accounts when doing layoffs.

Considers? He fired half the staff already. And they found out when he locked their access.

Not exactly a first is it?

Isn't that sop?

Oh, I can relate to how ex Twitter employees feel.

The woke going broke👍🏻

Very kind of them to share their tales of woe, think we've all appreciated the (much-needed) pick me up

Good

GillJames54 Haha they didn’t care when they locked normal peoples accounts, karmas a bitch 😂😂

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Trouble is they're not 'his' accounts, they belong to the company, as with any employer/employee linkage the world over. 'My' office is only such as long as I work at the company - after all, it's in their building, with their branding, their finance ... it's not 'mine' at all.

This happens every day..so why is this a big deal Because libs 1 misinformation tool is getting more balanced..

This is commonplace.

Elon Musk right now.

Far leftist agitator been found out

Parties over!

Sooooo . . . Why don't layoffs in other companies make headlines? Oil, gas, fast food, ect?

Cry Me a River

I think elonmusk needs to bring this energy back to SA with eskom Plus we won't bitch and complain... we want it to be cleaned up

Twitter's finished. Hopefully a workable alternative will gain traction soon.
