Twitter laid off at least 200 of its employees Saturday night, three people familiar with the matter said, or about 10% of the roughly 2,000 who were still working for the company.
Elon Musk, who acquired the social media platform in October, has steadily pared back its workforce from about 7,500 employees as he has sought to reduce costs.
The layoffs came after a week when the company made it difficult for Twitter employees to communicate with one another. The company’s internal messaging service, Slack, was taken offline, preventing employees from chatting with one another or looking up company data, five current and former employees told The New York Times.
The cuts hit product managers, data scientists and engineers who worked on machine learning and site reliability, which 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, a person familiar with the matter said.
Saturday’s round of layoffs was one of the largest since Musk told employees in an internal meeting in late November that there were no more plans for staff reductions. The cuts followed a mass layoff in early November, when Musk eliminated about half of Twitter’s workforce a week into his ownership of the company. Smaller layoffs and resignations had since reduced Twitter’s staff to about 2,000 employees.
