when a company sells they don't have to keep any employees
No, they targeted useless underperforming staff at a company that required coders who lacked 'talent' and coding experience
How do you take a Gall Bladder out that way?
Money grab.
Targeted liberals lol
Company was 70% female, what would you expect.
How dare you assume their gender?😲
Sincerely, the country that can't even identify what a woman is.
How would they identify them?
Completely frivolous
😂😂😂 if you’re a communist you were tossed it’s very simple 👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh Bullsh—!
Not really, they targeted problems. Those problems just happened to be primarily women.

So when nurses are laid off are hospitals targeting women or is it that the the profession is still dominated by women?
A bit much. Twitter should take their time to investigate how many of each gender were hired by the previous owner. scan through each resume to judge fairness. ..drag it. No wonder so many companies can’t survive.
Left still having a tantrum
OH FFS!
Maybe because the women weren’t qualified and were hired to check a diversity box.
It will be interesting to see if this is really about sexism, or just an elevated sense of entitlement exhibited by the post Covid laptop class. 
🤣🤣🤣 ya sure
Women do more administrative which was first to go. Engineering jobs are male dominant.
Pffff....grasping for money. Maybe counter lawsuit of the illegal things they did?
Twitter did not target women to be laid off… It just so happens that were more women than men working there
