A Twitter manager threw up in a trash can after new CEO Elon Musk directed him to fire hundreds of employees.
This was revealed in a New York Times report published Friday, Nov. 11.
The Times spoke with 36 current and former Twitter employees since Musk’s $44 billion takeover of the social media giant.
One widely-shared message on Slack indicated as many as 3,738 workers could be laid off. Employees immediately began saying their goodbyes and exchanging information, The Times reported.

To keep the company running, Musk reportedly told employees, “Those who are able to go hard core and play to win, Twitter is a good place. And those who are not, totally understand, but then Twitter is not for you.”
In an embarrassing move, dozens of laid-off workers were asked to come back because some were cut by mistake and others were terminated before management realized their work and experience are potentially valuable to help build new features Musk wants for the site, according to a Bloomberg report, which cited two people familiar with the move.
