Musk asks Twitter managers for best workers, then sacks them and promote worker
Twitter boss Elon Musk - who has made firing over three-fourth of the company's previously 8,000-strong workforce since buying it in October last year - was called out Thursday for reportedly asking senior managers to recommend their best employees for promotion, and then firing the former and replacing them with the latter as part of a 'cost-cutting drive', British publication iNews said.
The publication quoted a former staffer as saying, "Managers were recently told to provide a list of people who ought to be promoted… little did they realise they were signing their own death warrant: many of those managers were subsequently fired and replaced by those they’d recommended, as part of a cost-cutting drive."
