Twitter may have turned extremely lean in terms of employee headcount but it is still not done with layoffs. A new report now suggests that the social media company is planning to lay off 50 workers from the product division.
According to the report by Insider, there's no specific timeline attached to the layoffs but they could be executed within the next few weeks.
The information about the next round of layoffs comes a couple of months after Elon Musk fired a majority of the employees from the social media company. He had also promised that there won't be any further layoffs at the company. However, the company is stretched thin due to falling profits as well as a hefty debt.
Elon Musk is scheduled to make the first interest payment for the $13 billion he borrowed to acquire Twitter. The payment is due at the end of January. Furthermore, a reporter from Platformer revealed that Twitter's revenue has dropped 40 per cent year over year.
Twitter is also trying other avenues to counter the drop in profit. The company is auctioning its furniture at the San Francisco headquarters. This list of products includes conventional furniture like chairs and desks but also some unique sculptures.
