The email sent Thursday evening notified employees that they will receive a notice by 12 pm ET Friday that informs them of their employment status. “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.” The email added that “to help ensure the safety” of employees and Twitter’s systems, the company's offices “will be temporarily closed and all badge access will be suspended.” The email concluded acknowledging that it will be “an incredibly challenging experience to go through” for the workforce.
