推特也Hiring Freeze了！高管还要离职...

Twitter announces partial hiring freeze and senior exec exits

Twitter is halting hiring and parting ways with two senior leaders as it awaits a pending acquisition by Elon Musk.

The company is pausing most hiring and backfills, except for "business critical" roles, and pulling back on other non-labor costs, Twitter (TWTR) spokesperson Catherine Hill said in a statement to CNN Business on Thursday.

In addition, Twitter's general manager of consumer, Kayvon Beykpour, and revenue product lead, Bruce Falck, announced their departures from the company on Twitter Thursday. Hill confirmed the exits.

Beykpour, a seven-year veteran of the company, said his exit was not his decision. "This isn't how and when I imagined leaving Twitter ... [Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal] asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction," he said.

The company did not respond to a request for comment on whether the hiring freeze and executive exits are related to Musk's acquisition, which is expected to close later this year, or to the broader tech market downturn. Social media rival Meta also recently announced plans to slow hiring as it grapples with slowing growth.
Thursday's announcement is likely to add to the sense of uncertainty among some within the company since Musk announced his stunning $44 billion takeover deal last month.

There has been speculation that Musk's acquisition, if it's completed, could lead to layoffs or cost-cutting in certain parts of the company, as he restructures it to focus on his own goals for the platform, such as boosting its subscription business. Many experts also expect that Musk, who has previously said he does not have confidence in Twitter's management team, would shake up the company's leadership, including potentially ousting its CEO of less than a year, Agrawal.

不愧是马老板即将接手的公司，这样直接踢掉顶级管理层的操作也算是业界少见了吧。

毕竟是亲自下指令扼杀言论自由的高管，不炒它更待何时

他们不只freeze吧还要裁员呢

我去, 这新闻发出来前两小时我刚跟recruiter约了个下周一到meeting.......

这CEO写的邮件blind上有。。这写作能力比好多CEO都烂， 比地里热门那封Uber的烂多了，明摆着吓人走saving costs， 而且confirm会有部门个别level的layoff 和PIP （performance management)， 这种写作能力在印度人里面也算很烂了是比较少见。

感觉musk要搞大事情啊
