By New York Post. A Twitter manager threw up in a trash can after new CEO Elon Musk directed him to fire hundreds of employees as part of the company’s decision to slash its workforce in half, according to a new report.
The graphic detail was revealed in a sweeping New York Times report published Friday that painted a grim picture of Twitter’s overhaul as it faces executive resignations, fleeing advertisers and revenue struggles.
The Times spoke with 36 current and former Twitter employees since Musk’s $44 billion takeover of the social media giant, some of whom told the newspaper many staffers learned about the mass layoffs via an internal Slack channel where HR and legal teams discussed the impending move two days before they began on Nov. 4.
One widely-shared message on Slack indicated as many as 3,738 workers could be laid off. Employees immediately began saying their goodbyes and exchanging information, The Times reported.
“One engineering manager was approached by Mr. Musk’s advisers — or ‘goons,’ as Twitter employees called them — with a list of hundreds of people he had to let go. He vomited into a trash can near his feet,” The Times wrote. (Read more from “Twitter Manager Vomited After Elon Musk Ordered Him to Fire Employees: Report” HERE)

Yoel Roth, the Twitter Exec Who Censored the Post’s Hunter Biden Exposés, Quits in Latest Mass Exodus
By New York Post. The Twitter exec who censored The Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden — and brazenly likened members of the Trump administration to Nazis — has quit just days after getting public support from new boss Elon Musk.
Yoel Roth, 35, until Wednesday had continued pushing the site’s shifting policies on trolling and hateful conduct — and appeared alongside new owner Musk, 51, in defending the platform in a crunch meeting with advertisers that same day.
But Twitter staffers were told on Slack on Thursday that Roth was the latest key exec to have resigned, according to employees.
Roth also confirmed his exit by changing his bio on the site he’d worked at for seven years to “Former Head of Trust & Safety at @Twitter.”
The long-contentious exec was just one of the latest key figures to join the exodus during the unprecedented crisis that Musk this week admitted could end in bankruptcy. (Read more from “Yoel Roth, the Twitter Exec Who Censored the Post’s Hunter Biden Exposés, Quits in Latest Mass Exodus” HERE)
