TALKING POINT

What’s up, you Twitter employee, you!

Since Elon Musk took over Twitter in October 2022, its value has dropped by two thirds. Within months, he fired 6k employees, made the blue checkmark available to everyone for a fee (which users instantly took advantage of to troll the masses) and put his CEO status up to vote. The results told him to step down. And he did. 🤦

But even with a different CEO, Twitter’s still a hot mess topic. More specifically, there’s a TikTok video circulating (with over 12m views) encouraging jobseekers to take advantage of the company’s lack of internal communication. What gave rise to this was a Twitter employee resorting to tweeting Musk to ask if he’s still employed — as no one at the company could answer him. 😒

So, “it's time for all of us to be former employees at Twitter”, says the TikToker. “Don't like your job? You haven't been doing that job. You worked for Twitter for four years. They’re never going to actually respond to any request for verification, because even Twitter doesn't know who works there anymore.”
