Twitter has laid off their workers in their Ghana offices, which was their only headquarters in Africa.
Since the acquisition of Twitter by its new boss Elon Musk, it has been announced there would be mass layoffs in the organization. Their Ghana offices were just opened last year when Twitter stated they would like to be more “immersed” in Africa.
As reported to the BBC, there was no severance offered. Only that their current salary would be paid until the beginning of December. On November 4th, Musk tweeted that staff would be “offered 3 months of severance” when the news of mass layoffs had begun. However, it was not clear what offices he was talking about.
“It’s very insulting,” according to an anonymous employee at the Ghana offices. Under local Ghana laws, employees must be given three months notice. Instead, Twitter has given these employees a notice of one month, “last day of employment will be 4 December 2022.”
“From the mail to the lack of next steps to the tone of the letter. Just everything. Ridiculously insulting,” the employee added.
Ghana staff found out about the layoff as they were trying to access their work emails. The last message was from Twitter, mentioning they had been laid off.
The message from Twitter also stated that no one should “contact or deal with any customers, clients, authorities, banks, suppliers or other employees of the Company and are required to inform the Company if contacted”.
Musk claims he had no choice but to cut down the workforce as Twitter was losing $4 million a day.

In parallel with the FTC's ominous warning to Elon Musk's Twitter yesterday — that 'no CEO or company is above the law' — the microblogging platform's lead regulator in the European Union is on its case in the wake of senior staffers in charge of security and privacy compliance walking out the door. Graham Doyle, a deputy commissioner at Ireland's Data Protection Commission (DPC), which currently leads oversight of Twitter under the EU's General data Protection Regulation (GDPR), told TechCrunch it's in contact with the company following media reports yesterday that its data protection officer (DPO) had resigned.

U.S. hotel operators expect more pain from China's strict COVID-19 lockdowns which have halted construction of some luxury properties and impeded travel to one of the world's key tourism markets. Growth in China has been stuttering at a time when companies are rushing to open hotels and capitalise on pent up travel demand, with construction of new properties picking up pace in the United States after the pandemic halted expansion plans. Travel recovery in other parts of the world boosted results of major hotel chains this year, but President Xi Jinping's measures to contain COVID in China have pressured room growth and hospitality revenue in the country.
