After sacking nearly 50 percent of the Twitter workforce, or about 3,800 employees, Elon Musk has reportedly laid off at least 4,400 contract workers at the company.
As per reports by Platformer and Axios, the micro-blogging platform is now laying off employees who are on contract.
Platformer’s Casey Newton tweeted, “Contractors aren’t being notified at all, they’re only losing access to Slack and email. Managers only found out when their employees disappeared from the system.”
“He didn’t hear anything from his leaders,” he posted.
Neither Musk nor Twitter reacted to the new wave of layoffs that began over the weekend.
After suddenly losing access to Twitter’s internal systems, many people have found that they are no longer working for the company.
“One of my contractors went inactive without notice in the midst of making significant changes to our child safety workflows,” said one manager, who posted to the company’s internal Slack messaging platform.
After Twitter’s previous layoffs, many contractors ended up on teams with full-time employees, leaving no one to sign their time sheets, Engadget reported.
