Twitter executives complain about employees who have been laid off and returned to work: weakness, laziness, lack of motivation

Last week, social media Twitter offered to put some laid-off engineers back to work. But a Twitter executive complained that the returning employees were "weak, lazy and unmotivated".

The senior engineering director of Twitter commented, "this will be a challenge." the engineers I brought back are generally weak, lazy and unmotivated, and they may even oppose the Twitter led by Musk. "

"they were fired for a reason, so I think these people just need to stay in the company until the transfer of skills is completed," the executive said. "

According to LinkedIn, the executive has been working on Twitter since 2013. The executive's comments sparked heated debate on Twitter's internal Slack channel, according to people familiar with the matter.

Others posted asking users how Elon Musk would react to the manager's comments.

Of the 157 respondents, 60 thought Musk would promote the manager, 56 thought Musk would take no action, and 41 thought the manager would be fired.

Musk fired about half of his employees after taking over Twitter, but asked some of them to go back to work a few days later.
