1. It's not like this should come as a surprise to anyone at Twitter. If you work at Twitter and haven't been updating your resume and reaching out to other contacts, don't know what to say.
2. Remains to be seen what severance package laid off employees get, but with the California WARN requirements I think it's likely to be at least a couple months, which is fair. Looks like Musk tried to screw over some of the top execs by firing "for cause" (and note, in an exec's contract "for cause" can't just be "we don't like the job you did", it pretty much always has specific stipulations about breaking laws or company policy, e.g. sexual harassment), but they have more than enough resources to sue if necessary.
3. Is there anyone who reasonably thinks that Twitter has a lot of unproductive employees that should be let go? I think unions can do a lot of good, but not if it's the standard "once you're in the union it's nearly impossible to let you go" situation. Highly productive employees hate working with people who just "phone it in".
