New York Times: Twitter lays off another 10% of staff | CNN Business
Nigeria Nigeria Latest News,Nigeria Nigeria Headlines

Twitter’s massive job cuts continued this weekend -- as the company cut about 10% of its remaining staff, according to a report in the New York Times.

Twitter’s massive job cuts continued this weekend, as the company cut about 10% of its remaining staff, according to a report in the New York Times. The latest axing of about 200 jobs takes the company’s headcount down to under 2,000 staffers, according to the Times. That’s down from the 7,500 who worked for the social media platform before Elon Musk bought the company last fall for $44 billion.

The paper reported that the cuts hit product managers, data scientists and engineers who worked on machine learning and site reliability, which, it said, helps keep Twitter’s various features online. The “monetization infrastructure team,” which maintains the services through which Twitter makes money, was reduced to fewer than eight people from 30, according to the report. Twitter did not respond to a request for comment from CNN on the Times report.

That's business. So don't hate the player, hate the game!

🤣🤣🤣 I noted yesterday that things were still working fine in spite of Twitter'sxatadf cuts. But today no one I follow is showing up in my feed. If I pick the 'following' option it shows nothing but a 'let's get started' message. Maybe a few more layoffs will help.

Probably getting rid of dead wood... always essential if you need to renew and grow.

CNN Twitter is just getting rid of all the dead weight. CNN should do the same

Now do literally all of the big tech companies....they are all laying off people....not just Twitter....but please....go on

Somebody kick Musk out of there instead! Please, this is unbearable what Twitter is turning into 😭

I didn’t believe this before … but after months of watching Twitter sink into a cesspit, I believe no one would miss Twitter if it just disappeared.

He’s cutting all the liberal waste and keeping the real workers. Great job!

I guess CNN is doing better since they got rid of a lot of people.

But Joe says we are doing better than ever! CNN must be lying!

Just like every other tech company. Nothing new.

It seems the main job of twitter employees was filtering out non progressive speech and any and all opposition to the Biden administration policies and supporters Since that is no longer a priority these censors (Twitter employees) are no longer needed

It would be nice if our government would follow his lead. Start by defunding the departments of education, health and human services, ATF, FBI,TSA, department of interior,

It's not just Twitter it's all tech! Do your job and report the whole story

Twitter isn't broken enough. Elon wants to break it more.

Excellent.

Good. Businesses don't run well w ppl who don't do the work.

Huh, and I haven't noticed any changes. Guess they really weren't essential workers after all.

It has actually gained in value and usefulness. More engaging and better conversations. Sure people still have moments, but that’s life. We should be talking to each other more. Thanks elonmusk

and yet...Twitter is still functioning, better.

Twitter should just keep firing people one at a time until it stops working, then hire back one person.

And twitter has more users than ever.

Elon is a super great businessman

I used to watch CNN every morning. Don Lemmon is so unpalatable and he’s demeaning to PoppyHarlowCNN and the great kaitlancollins. Horrible decision to replace JohnBerman and brikeilarcnn in the morning.

And she’s running just fine

Twitter seems to be running just as it did pre Elon. What did all those people do!?!?

And amazingly the app still works. /sarcasm

Can we just all agree there’s no need for workers with technology 😂

And Twitter has never been better

And nothing of value was lost.

all big tech companies are having massive lay offs. this headline is for the sheep to jump on Elon.

Twitter is a different business as compared with other businesses owned by Musk. Had Musk been clam/shut his mouth and allowed to run twitter for sometime in the same status prior to his acquisition, would have helped a lot.Working on phased manner revival would have done wonders

It means not making money so far!

No wonder

Abolish

Good

A leaner, meaner Twitter machine. elonmusk

likes to make a big deal about layoffs in other companies but forget to mention their failing ratings and mass layoffs, too. At least, there is hope for Twitter. I don't even know if cnn will make it to the next election cycle.

Which is: 20 jobs. If only we could get the same exact type of reporting all across the spectrum of news. But we don't, CNN barely mentions the massive layoffs elsewhere and highlights the layoff of 20 people. It's time we get nothing but the truth.

And every other company did

Yet it still is functioning fine on consumer end. Maybe they needed these cuts in order to keep the company alive.

Musk is ruining Twitter.

If you really would just look at businesses, lots are decreasing their staff. In fact, hasn't CNN let a few go recently?

Hey! Biden’s economy at it’s finest. Massive layoffs, then rely on Grandpa Joe & “big brother” for “free” stuff.

I know you fascist leftists hate the new twitter. The old twitter instantly gave me a permanent ban for showing this picture. Despite the fact it's his exact words. 😂

Don’t you guys know the Pareto principal? 80% of your output is determined by 20% of your input. I see cost saving maximisation with minimal impact to operations. Move on smoochers. Smart move elonmusk

CNN keeps laying off hundreds of degenerate leftists, lets talk about that.

Smart move

How is 200 a massive cut? Others are laying odd several thousand. WTF

Why mark

More unemployed liberals. The free market works

…and the amount of stuff we don't want to see has increased tenfold. Twitter has gone down the drain, quality-wise.
