People were also accidentally fired. Requests for employee returns show how rushed and chaotic the process was, the sources said.
Rejected by email
Twitter fired nearly 3,700 people with a single email this week. It was announced in advance that half of all employees would be fired and people would receive the message by email.
Many employees found they lost their jobs after not being able to access their work email.
For example, Twitter has started introducing a new subscription system. This is a new version of Twitter Blue, a paid service that now costs five dollars a month and offers the user some extra features.
Blue check mark
The company will also ask for money for the “blue tick”, which indicates that their identity has been verified. Many celebrities, businesses, government agencies, and journalists still use this sign for free to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Twitter moved the deadline for changing check marks on Sunday to after Tuesday’s US midterm elections, the New York Times reports. The decision was made in response to concerns that the plan could be misused to sow discord during the elections, the newspaper said.
