Team, In an effort to place Twitter on a healthy path, we will go through the difficult process of reducing our global workforce on Friday. We recognize that this will impact a number of individuals who have made valuable contributions to Twitter, but this action is unfortunately necessary to ensure the company's success moving forward. Given the nature of our distributed workforce and our desire to inform impacted individuals as quickly as possible, communications for this process will take place via email. By 9AM PST on Friday Nov. 4th, everyone will receive an individual email with the subject line: Your Role at Twitter. Please check your email, including your spam folder. If your employment is not impacted, you will receive a notification via your Twitter email. • If your employment is impacted, you will receive a notification with next steps via your personal email. If you do not receive an email from twitter-hr@by 5PM PST on Friday Nov. 4th, please email [email protected].
To help ensure the safety of each employee as well as Twitter systems and customer data, our offices will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended. If you are in an office or on your way to an office, please return home. We acknowledge this is an incredibly challenging experience to go through, whether or not you are impacted. Thank you for continuing to adhere to Twitter policies that prohibit you from discussing confidential company information on social media, with the press or elsewhere. We are grateful for your contributions to Twitter and for your patience as we move through this process.
Thank you Twitter
I've heard if someone hands in a resignation at Dave Ramsey's organization, he just lets them go right then. Pack up their desk and out within the hour. He doesn't want people anxious to go elsewhere hanging around for a two week notice. Makes sense.
Wish it was that say with outgoing congress.
Lot of companies do this, especially in sales. Don't want you taking the customers. Two jobs I have worked at, the computer access was cut off immediately if you handed in your resignation. One job, I gave my two weeks but was prepared to go that day; I was going to a customer though, not a competitor. Because of that, they were okay with me staying the two weeks.
