“It’s very insulting,” according to an anonymous employee at the Ghana offices. Under local Ghana laws, employees must be given three months notice. Instead, Twitter has given these employees a notice of one month, “last day of employment will be 4 December 2022.”

“From the mail to the lack of next steps to the tone of the letter. Just everything. Ridiculously insulting,” the employee added.

Ghana staff found out about the layoff as they were trying to access their work emails. The last message was from Twitter, mentioning they had been laid off.
