It is heartbreaking if indeed the news circulating on social media is true. In a recent post published by Larry Madowo, a CNN International Correspondent on his official twitter account. Details of how twitter staff in Accra were fired via email has been made public without acknowledgement of each individual’s name or any benefits for the employment termination.
In Larry’s tweet, he writes “SCOOP – CNN has obtained the termination notice sent to staff at Twitter’s only office in Africa – in Accra 🇬🇭 It was sent to their personal emails but didn’t mention any of them by name. Unlike in the US, it doesn’t offer next steps or severance” “The company is reorganizing its operations as a result of a need to reduce costs. It is with regret that we’re writing to inform you that your employment is terminating as a result of this exercise,” the email told Twitter Africa staff. And then silence”. Check out the news video which accompanied his tweet coupled with screenshots from the video.
