McSweeney claims that by not responding to a generic and vague e-mail sent to all of Twitter employees by its owner multi–billionaire Elon Musk earlier this month, she has been treated as if she is no longer employed by the company.
She said in her statement that she has held discussions with Mr Musk and some of his senior associates about the company’s future and, in particular about cost reduction, reducing members of staff in her section as well as elsewhere in the company.
She said “he accepted that people could be talented but might impact the team negatively and he stated that he did not want assholes”. In the email sent by Mr Musk on November 16th the billionaire said that “going forward, to build a breakthrough Twitter 2.0 and succeed in an increasing competitive world, we will need to be extremely hardcore”.
She claims that arising out of the email she and other employees were offered “exit packages” based on their location.
