Nach welchem Selektionsmechanismus bei Twitter Leute entlassen wurden

Gergely Orosz, natürlich in einem Tweet-Megathread, weil diese Information in einen schönen Blog-Artikel verpacken gerade nicht in ist:

“I don’t understand why X was laid off, and their manager also couldn’t tell them why.” With layoffs being more frequent, a thread about how who is let go is often decided, and why it can seem random (even though there’s a system) […]

Directors don’t reach out to managers but identify people to fired based on:

Highest costs in redundant roles / ones less needed

Poor performance reviews recently

People working in cost centers / long-term-bets

Tenure (shorter tenure)

What directors and VPs don’t take into account usually:

How well-respected this person is in the team

Maternity/paternity leaves or recent returns (HR will take care to pay sufficient severance, or flag if legally not allowed to let go)

Diversity (again: left to HR)
