A former engineer at Twitter said they watched staff "drop like flies" on a Google Meet.

A former engineer at Twitter said they watched colleagues "drop like flies" from a virtual meeting as mass layoffs occurred.
Justine De Caires, a former senior engineer of three years at Twitter's San Francisco headquarters, described their experience of being laid off after Elon Musk's $44 billion takeover, in an interview with CNN.
De Caires told CNN they were having a "whirlwind of a week" because they were working on the new Twitter Blue feature, working long shifts and on some occasions, through the night.
"That night I had just submitted a code change and maybe an hour later, I heard some of my coworkers, they were posting 'Hey my laptop has this really weird screen on it and I can't log in,' and they were like in London.
