After Musk took control of the company in October 2022, he began a series of sweeping layoffs affecting thousands of workers. In early November, Twitter laid off almost all of its staff in Ghana, its only African location, just days after its physical office finally opened following a year of remote working, CNN reported at the time.
A new report by CNN details how in late May the laid-off workers were eventually offered three months of severance pay, the cost of repatriating foreign staff, and legal expenses incurred during negotiations with Twitter. The sources told CNN that though laid-off staff in other countries had more generous severance packages which included benefits, they were so fed up of waiting that they ultimately agreed to the package they were offered.
But communications with the company have since stopped and they're still waiting for severance pay, the laid-off staff told the outlet.Twitter didn't immediately respond to Insider's request for comment beyond an automated email response.
