The 2021 Twitter layoffs have been announced, with plans to reduce its global employee count from 5,000 to 2,000 by the end of 2023. This decision follows the trend of large tech companies such as Google, who laid off thousands of employees in 2020. The reduction in staffing will necessitate a shift in the company’s focus and operations. Additionally, this layoff could spell trouble for other big companies across industries that follow Twitter's example and plan their own sweeping job cuts.
With its recent announcement of layoffs, Twitter is among the latest in a long line of big companies to plan for massive job cuts. With the follow of Twitter, Google, and other leading tech companies are also expected to announce their own job reductions in the coming weeks and months. While many of these layoffs will bring temporary economic benefits in terms of cost reduction for the companies, it will also undoubtedly mean major disruptions for much-needed employees across a variety of industries. The layoff news has also been accompanied by estimates that total employment counts at some large companies will be reduced by up to 2000 by 2023 - a major decrease from current numbers that could have significant implications for people’s lives.
