This really is it here. It's not about keeping Twitter running from an engineerign perspective, it's about all the other support teams that actually generate revenue.

Must is so damn stupid. How are you going to generate revenue if you fire the people doing the selling and account managers that manage relationships.

'It's over': Twitter France's head quits amid layoffs​

PARIS, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Twitter Inc's head of French operations, Damien Viel, said he was quitting the social media platform, whose new owner Elon Musk recently fired top executives and enforced steep job cuts at the company.

"It's over," Viel tweeted on Sunday, thanking his team in France, which he led for the last seven years.





He didn't elaborate on the circumstances of his departure and declined to say how many people Twitter employed in France either before or after Musk's takeover of the company last month.


Labour laws in France prevent companies from firing permanent employees overnight. France-based companies have to formally tell staff they aim to dismiss about their plans ahead of time, typically via a letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

They also have to respect certain notice periods, depending on the nature of the dismissal and the seniority of the staff.

For dismissals affecting several employees within 30 days, companies must also follow certain procedures, which entail informing staff, staff representatives and the ministry of labour.

This means the whole process takes at least several weeks and up to several months.

A spokesperson for Twitter in France hasn't replied to messages seeking comment since Musk's takeover in October.

Twitter has had a bumpy ride since the world's richest person took charge. It has cut staff globally by about half, while Musk has raised the possibility of the social media platform going bankrupt.

He recently told employees to consider whether they wanted to stay on "working long hours at high intensity" or take a severance package of three months pay.

On top of it, I'd have to imagine the tech stack is expensive to run. Probably has a bunch of stuff just draining money since no one is there to monitor it

I hope Meta is working on a twitter equvalent.

This has to be the biggest alley op for Zuckerberg

tumblr is implementing activitypub but twitter still has unique features that other sites don't offer.

the sooner he steps down and gets a new person to run it the better imo
