Twitter employee: After 14 interviews in 11 months, I had finally found my dream job. Now it's all over...

Twitter Employee DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES HAVE different dream jobs. For a chef it might be a Michelin-starred restaurant, for a journalist a national paper, for others though this can be much less clear.

I experienced this level of care and thoughtfulness first-hand after the sudden death of a friend. The platform is not perfect, nor is any organisation flawless, but for many of us, it was a very special place to work.While the past three weeks might appear turbulent, for staff the current unrest began back when co-founder and twice-former CEO Jack Dorsey unexpectedly resigned in November 2021.

Less than 24 hours after entering the building, Musk fired our CEO, CFO, General Counsel, and Head of Legal Policy. On Friday we waited for the promised company call with Musk. We waited for official confirmation of the deal. We waited for news of further firings, but nothing came. So we continued to wait. The following Monday, department heads could only speculate in meetings as to who had been fired over the weekend.

There tends to be a process in times of job loss. The initial shock, worry about money and then if you’re lucky, some sort of remuneration or severance and at the very least, statutory redundancy. Then, the questions we ask ourselves – should I get a lawyer? Or join the union? Can I do both? As worries mount, Elon Musk continues to tweet merrily along. The latest in the ongoing saga is that he has finished layoffs and is planning to hire staff elsewhere. While this happens, Musk may find that he has to contend with and comply with regulations in the EU and UK. We, as staff caught up in this, would like to think that the laws in this jurisdiction are robust enough to protect us.
