On Friday, Twitter owner Elon Musk reportedly cut 3,700 Twitter employees, or over half of the company’s workforce globally, to rein in Twitter’s costs, according to the Verge.
To prevent sabotage, Twitter temporarily shut down all of its offices and disabled badge access to all physical locations. An email was sent to its employees on Thursday informing them to “go home and not return to the offices on Friday.”
Employees in the UK said that their computers were “remotely cleaned” while they slept and that they lost access to Slack and Gmail, according to Daily Mail.
One self-absorbed employee was so upset after learning she lost her HR job at Twitter that she posted a photo of herself crying.
Lindsey Kander tweeted a picture on Friday of herself in tears with the quote, “It’s insane because I knew it was coming but I’m absolutely ripped in half. I’m embarrassed for posting, but it hurts because this company is so damn special.”
Twitter human resources associate Lindsay Kander posted unprofessionally about herself crying uncontrollably in reaction to the #TwitterLayoffs led by @elonmusk. https://t.co/GAqOQ3oxNy pic.twitter.com/r2YAgZFMt2

But that isn’t what Lindsey said last week.
On Sunday Lindsey posted, “I hate it here.”
Obviously, Lindsey made it easy for the Twitter staff to decide her future at the company.
More reaction…
Exactly what I was thinking, I’d cry too if I got kicked off of pleasure island.
