According to a source, former Twitter employees are perplexed over the company's refusal to retrieve their work computers

Several people have been laid off. Twitter employees claim the business has yet to retrieve their work computers, causing uncertainty and concern about legal issues.

Former Twitter software developer Eric Frohnhoefer, who was sacked in November, told Wired that he had not heard anything from the business regarding returning his work computer.

He informed the magazine that the Apple MacBook Pro had been languishing in his closet since it was digitally encrypted following his termination from his job. “I’m happy letting it sit there and be a brick,” he remarked.

Two additional former Twitter workers told Wired that they still had their work computers but were concerned that maintaining them might result in extra severance delays or perhaps legal difficulties. Twitter laid-off employees received severance agreements earlier this month following a two-month delay.

Other former Twitter workers told Wired that they had received emails requesting them to complete a “Twitter Device Collection Survey” in the previous few days.

The survey, according to Wired, said that business phones, laptop chargers, badges, identification tokens, and corporate credit cards might be returned. Monitors and other computer equipment were not required to be collected, and the paper did not specify what workers should do with laptop computers, according to Wired.

Twitter representatives did not immediately react to Insider’s request for comment made after normal business hours.

Since purchasing the platform in October, Elon Musk has made significant efforts to decrease the company’s operating costs. Soon after his $44 billion buyout, the billionaire quickly cut Twitter’s staff in half and has been performing rolling layoffs ever since.

In addition, the firm is overdue on rent payments for its offices in San Francisco and London, and has been auctioning off corporate property to obtain revenue.
