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.
