They didnt. The actual email is like this, again creative journalism or social tweaking.

The blunt emails have indeed been sent. Read the note below, which Insider obtained: It's titled "Your Role at Twitter."

Hello,

As shared earlier today, Twitter is conducting a workforce reduction to help improve the health of the company. These decisions are never easy and it is with regret that we write to inform you that your role at Twitter has been impacted.

Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.

Also regarding the 60 days notice, they are actually within that as the final day is 2nd February. Thats over 90 days notice with full pay while the details are discussed with them. Technically, even with that notice they are still employed.

Actually, reading that, it can serve very similar to our "section 189" notice. And on the grounds that the position is redundant, there actually isnt anything that can be done ( based off SA example which DOES NOT NECCESARILY APPLY HERE )

Unsure if I missed it - but is there an article on Twitters salary bill ?

I think with 7,500 employees - close to $40m pm for everyone ?
And they lose $3m per day ? So $90m pm ?

Perhaps, but due diligence doesn't provide the low level detail you'd need to know how let go and who to retain. You may know staff costs as an overall number, but to really pick you need more info.

Seen this happen a few times that people get retrenched and then the company realise that they lost institutional knowledge.

I'd actually be worried about the people whose comments indicate they write as much code as possible. Those people are the main source of defects. The best coders spend a lot of time figuring out how to do something with as little code as is reasonably possible while conserving readability and and maintainability. Of course if you have idiot clients who pay per line well then throw them a ball of mud and run away with the money.
