Getting word that a large number of number of Twitter contractors were just laid off this afternoon with no notice, both in the US & abroad. Functions affected appear to include content moderation, real estate, and marketing, among others

Contractors aren’t being notified at all, they’re just losing access to Slack & email. Managers figured it out when their workers just disappeared from the system.

They heard nothing from their leaders

So in addition to the META (#ethics) team, I have heard that Musk has also fired the #Trust & Safety and & #HumanRights teams. And now #Accessibility!! (https://twitter.com/gerardkcohen/status/1588584459779321857). I get that in Musk's twisted logic, the META, T&S, and Human Rights teams were making decisions that he disagreed with but accessibility?! Does he believe that only ppl fully-abled 100% of the time should be able to use the platform?? #TwitterBloodBath
