• Since Musk became CEO of Twitter, 3,700 workers have been let go.
• According to reports, hundreds more have left as a result of Musk's radical changes.
• Meta, Amazon recently let go of thousands of workers as well.

Following Musk's turbulent takeover of the social media platform, Twitter has ousted top executives and imposed drastic job cuts with little notice. 3,700 workers, or around half the workforce, have been let go. His extensive reforms are said to have led to the resignation of hundreds of people. 

The most recent top management to depart was the head of French operations on Monday. Some businesses are now attempting to recruit experienced engineering expertise by appealing to their contempt for the strategies of the world's richest person in an attempt to seize an opportunity. Hubspot's chief people officer Katie Burke slammed Musk following claims that he fired a bunch of workers for criticising him on the organization's internal Slack channels.

 She stated in a Linkedin article that receiving criticism is a necessary part of being a leader. ' Great leaders are aware that disagreement and conflict are vital components of the process and that they enhance you. HubSpot is hiring if you're looking for a place where you may express your disagreements with others (kindly, of course).' 

Burke's post on Linkedin received more than 35,000 favourable responses by Monday night. Both Twitter and Musk did not respond to requests for comment. Other companies, like Hubspot, utilise comparable tactics.

The CEO of CoderPad, Amanda Richardson, posted an open letter to Twitter users who have stopped using the social networking site. In recent weeks, hundreds of employees have been let go by other major US internet companies like Meta and Amazon as a result of the unstable economic climate.

The widespread criticism of Musk, however, has brought to light the industry's pressing need for highly qualified digital workers in several areas.

High attrition rates and a wave of digitalization initiatives throughout business and government, according to a recent report from market research firm Gartner, have created a 'hyper-competitive' market for technical talent.

 Mass layoffs and public resignations at Twitter have raised concerns that the company is losing key employees and that the social media 'town square' may experience technological difficulties.
In a similar Linkedin post, Calix CEO Michael Weening called recent events at Twitter 'disturbing' and assured new hires that their company's culture “starts with our team members.”
