Twitter cuts 50% of its workforce

One week after buying the social media giant Twitter for $44 billion, Elon Musk announced some 3,700 job cuts across its global operations, or around half its worldwide workforce, according to Bloomberg. Employees of the California-based group, who are not unionised, have precious few options. However, a class-action lawsuit has already been filed alleging violations of California state law because the 60-day notice period for mass layoffs was not respected.
