Elon Musk has fired so many Twitter workers by mistake that HR created an 'accidental termination' category to re-onboard employees

Even before Thanksgiving, several employees had mistakenly lost access to their work badges that serve as passes into and around Twitter buildings, the people familiar said. Some lost access to the internal Slack or got locked out of their computers altogether, similar to how people who actually were laid off or fired initially found out they no longer work at Twitter. confirming their termination, those notes often came several hours after employees lost access to work tools.

As a result, people who experienced badge or computer issues would have to text managers or teammates to see if they were actually fired, the people familiar said. Some full-time and contract employees had to be re-onboarded to company systems from scratch as if they were new hires in order to regain access to tools, the people familiar added.

Maybe he’ll get their attention.

Real class act

MissButter That’s the way it should be done. Admitting mistakes and fixing them

Anyone who goes back after this will just be looking for a check while lining up a new job.

That's programming comment old code see what happens and put back just the portion that's needed...

truly a genius doing gods work.

Business Insider is in the business of speculation, not journalism. The media has been forced to designate a new category of news called speculation journalism.

Business insider is fake news

It isn’t a mistake, this is the fastest way to determine who is actually missed when they are gone.

It wasn't a mistake. He very deliberately fucked up that badly. His finger didn't slip onto the 'fire 2/3 of staff' button.

They should ask 10X more money to return.

Look at all the Billionaire Geniuses that know better than the Billionaire Genius is question... I applaud all your glorious successes 😂🤣😂

Not a real publication

Nothing like a 'Genius' for employee motivation!

I wonder on what terms they agree to get back.

Now do accidental deaths of Tesla

🤦🏾‍♂😹😹😹😹

it is not a mistake, it is a bullying. He wanted to say, you are nothing, you are replaceable, and I can fire/hire you anytime. We should all remember that laws assume *good faith*, and I don't think that firing on the first day, anywhere near good faith.

Lmfao

Should change your name to ElonInsider...

...he bought the company...he can do what he wants with it....

Never go back for less than your rockstar contractor rates, they only need you until the replacements are up to speed.

He will be back on Twitler soon. Elon gets love letters too

Clearly a business savant. Four dimensional chess. Visionary leader. . . Etc. . .

Do they even want to go back?

How do you re-onboard and accidentally fired employee. Like how does that even play out. Like hey we want you to love working here so just forget we ever fired you Kay?

Lol we got a real business genius here.

One would be stupid to go back.

How would you like to work somewhere that you could sort of 'accidentally' get fired? Has anyone got the accidental axe multiple times?

never a mistake to burn a viper den

Sometimes he tooks quick decisions in business he should be more calm and cool and need to think long-term before come into some major conclusion. Sometimes the problems could be solve in other ways to which is more beneficial to all... It is called win-win strategy. elonmusk

Omelette / eggs

Twitter status as shown in pictures:

Rogue officials who abuse power, fool politicians, create confusion, run sabotage shops, run parallel government, abuse agencies for personal gains, private vendetta, working for CIA Iran Qatar Kuwait Vatican SaudiArabia MuslimBrotherhood should be dismissed from service

This is what peak management looks like.
