According to news on November 10, Twitter opened its only African office in Accra, Ghana, on November 1 this year, but layoffs began just three days later. Twitter appears to have laid off all but one of its local employees, according to people familiar with the matter.

Since taking over Twitter on October 27, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has launched a massive layoff plan, cutting thousands of jobs at the company. Some employees learned that they had been fired through an email from the company, while others found themselves laid off because they were unable to log on to the company's account.

Recently, Twitter has come under fire for sudden layoffs and lack of humanity. Musk said on Twitter that affected employees will receive three months' severance pay.

However, it is reported that employees of Twitter's African office in Accra, Ghana, did not enjoy this treatment. Twitter simply informed the employees that they would be fired, but did not specify the severance package or what to do next.

After about a year of remote control, Twitter's office in Accra, Ghana, opened on November 1. But just three days later, local employees' work e-mail accounts were locked and their work laptops were cancelled.

Soon after, employees received a notice of dismissal from the company.

"the company is restructuring its business because of the need to reduce costs," Twitter's director of human services in Dublin, Ireland, told African employees in an email. "We regret to inform you that your employment relationship with the company will be terminated as a result of this reorganization."

Employees were told that December 4 would be their last day on Twitter. Before that, employees were suspended from work and were not allowed to contact colleagues, but they needed to keep in touch with the company in case Twitter needed them to make a job transition.

"it's very insulting," said one employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "

A senior partner manager of Twitter tweeted on Friday that he no longer worked at the company, but did not specify that he had been fired.

Twitter appears to have fired all but one of its employees working in Ghana, according to people familiar with the matter.

The massive layoffs on Twitter also affect employees working around the world. The company laid off 90 per cent of its employees working in India over the weekend, according to sources.

According to reports, Twitter also asked some laid-off engineers to return to work to implement Musk's plans to transform Twitter, such as the "Blue V Certification" payment service.
