Twitter laid off more workers late Saturday in a fresh wave of cuts meant to curb costs at the social networking company now owned by Elon Musk.
The lay-offs hit employees on teams across the company, including engineering and product, according to people familiar with the situation. Some employees learned they were laid off via an email late Saturday, the people said, and others tweeted that they learned they were terminated when they could no longer log in to the internal system.
It is unclear exactly how many employees were impacted, though sources believe it was dozens. The Information previously reported more than 50 people were let go.
Twitter has not responded to a request for comment by Bloomberg News outside normal business hours.
